It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas...
























Well hello all!! The modest Christmas decorating is done and the holiday baking has begun! We always have an ornament night and this year everybody was home for it except Israel. He told me that he wasn't going to be able to come home until after Christmas because of preparation for the bowl game. (He plays football for UGA for those of you don't know) Well, he surprised me by coming his past weekend so all the kids got to get theirs. I pick an ornament out every year that reminds me and my husband of something the child has done over the past year. When they are grown and settledin their own homes, their ornaments will be theirs. Its fun pulling out the ornaments from year to year and reminiscing over why that particular ornament was chosen. There are also some pictures of some of my holiday tablescape and some updated pictures of my bunch. Hope you enjoy!!

  4. Trez- I have given my children an ornament with their name and the year on it every year since they were born too! Our daughter got married last June and had a good start on their first Christmas tree. Enjoyed your Blind Side post too--our children graduated from Briarcrest (the actual school) and we are acquainted with all involved so we really enjoyed the movie. Good luck on the bowl game and thanks for visiting!

  5. Everything is beautiful!!

    I noticed the deer on your dining room table, especially. I've been looking for two deer since I saw some at a home on a tour, two years ago. I would love to know where you found yours.

    Merry Christmas!

  14. Trez - Thanks for leaving such a wonderful comment on my post. I agree, the real meaning of Christmas must be at the center of your home. Many commented on Sunday duting the tour on my various nativity scenes. Your ornament pictures are fantastic. I also love the little sleighs on your tablescape. Thank you sharing and have a Blessed Christmas.
