December
real cookies and a virtual quilting bee

Decking the halls

Busy here.  Busy there.  Who isn't?  Just pictures today because the sun is shining and filling the house with light.

Peeking at the tree.  Fake, yes.  My hands break out in a terrible itch if I touch the real stuff.

And a cheapo skinny little wooden tree I picked up somewhere long ago that looks good no matter where it ends up.  Don't you love stuff like that?

Looks beautiful.

I'm from the midwest too (lived in KC for many years) and I love to visit your blog.

We always had a real tree -- trek out to the tree farm all four kids in tow until 2 years ago when it was a mud pit and we had to strip the kids almost naked before they could get in the car! That was it. No more tree farms and real trees. Funny, but I don't miss having a real one the way I thought I would -- it's nice to have a green tree for the entire month. There were years when we had a bush of sticks with ornaments hanging on it by New Year's Day! Your home is looking mighty festive! I love decorating the banister too. Ryan came home yesterday and it was all green and lit and he said "OH YEAH! NOW IT"S CHRISTMAS!"

Yes, I love the random buys like that wooden tree. That happens to me with clothes too....the $4 clearance shirt from Old Navy becomes the biggest staple of my wardrobe.
I love that tree!

We have our (fake) tree up but that's about it. I need to get busy!

Your house is very merry! I love the wreath on the stand. Very cute!

I also love the Santa in front of the advent calendar. So funny and so something my boys would do. :)

Pretty!! We finally gave into the fake tree last year. After much searching (on my part) I finally chose one and when I got it home, it didn't look so good. But I couldn't let my husband drag the 500 lb beast back so I have to make it work! It's only up for a month anyways.
