Reflections

This was a good Christmas!  

G said, 

"Santa brought even more this year than he did last year!"

Can we do it all again?  

Joy!

I'm still basking in the JOY! of the season 

and hope you are, too.  

More Decor

More decor.  

...of the front door variety. 

The Tree

I may be a bit of a Christmas tree freak, 

but I actually don't enjoy decorating the tree.  

I never really have a plan, things just have to evolve through 

trial and error.  

Lots of trial and error.  

Santa

I'm so happy that G is over his fear of Santa.  

We really only had one bad year (age 2) so I shouldn't complain, 

but now it's nice to not worry about getting a picture.  

He always comes through for me!

Griffin marched right up to Santa and told him this year's 

Christmas List: 

A Yo-Yo 

and 

A Fireman Sam toy.

Feeling Festive!

When it comes to Christmas decorating, 

I'm a bit all over the place.  

I love simple, over-the-top, colorful, monochromatic, 

natural, and fanciful all simultaneously.  

So, when I put the sorta rustic deer on the dining room buffet, 

it needed a bright, sparkly, shiny contrast.  

And, Voila!

I don't usually incorporate orchids into my Christmas decor, 

but the pop of color just makes me happy.  

...for the moment.  

Christmas is still a few days away, it could change.  ;-)

The Littlest Angels

G got to participate in the church Christmas pageant this weekend.  

He and his 4-year-old buddies were all angels.  

Cue the, "Awwwwww."
