52 Weeks of Happiness Week 41

Putting up my own tree!!

Hubby LOVES Christmas. Call him Clark Griswold.

He put up 3 trees over 5 feet tall, and in addition, we have 5 other small 2-footers. He likes trees that coordinate and are artsy. I like a tree full of years of sentimental ornaments. I'll proudly put all my son's homemade ornaments up til there is no more room. I proudly display my numerous wedding-type ornaments (since we have a Dec. anniversary, we have many from 2008!) for many years to come.

So, here is MY tree. Complete with a hodge-podge of ornaments that mean a lot to me.

NOW it's Chistmas!

52 Weeks of Happiness Week 40

This past week was lovely because DECEMBER arrived!

I love December. It's when my son arrived two years ago, and three years ago when I made the promise of a lifetime to my hubby. Not to mention that there is nothing more magical than Christmas anyway!

So-you really know it's the season when you have decked the halls (at least started to!) and you have a fire going. With a two year old, this Christmas will be incredibly magical, and I look forward to everything about it! His birthday is less than 2 weeks away, and I can't wait to celebrate the season!

52 Weeks of Happiness Week 39

Officially way behind. Wish i were better with keeping this up--and I still want to, I just haven't found the time to sit down with it. Even now I only have a few minutes, so here it is. Quickly. :)

Two weeks ago was Thanksgiving. But the best part of that weekend were the three days that followed. I had been sick with the stomach bug, but felt well enough to eat Thanksgiving dinner, but the final three days were spent watching Christmas movies and decorating. And a lot of sitting. We got new furniture so that felt really good, too. It was just good to be home.



Hooray for Christmas decor!
