“Somehow Or Other, It Came Just the Same!”

December 14th, 2010

Who can believe it’s the middle of December already?! Whether we’re ready or not, Christmas has arrived!

We’ve wintered our home up for the holidays and of course The Tree is my favorite part.

He stands sturdy in the center of the front room window, a spot that was a definite selling point when we were house hunting.  We needed to have a Christmas Tree Window.

Every morning when I walk down the hall with my sleepy head and jumbled thoughts, I veer first for The Tree.

Lights! And the day has begun.

Ella Faye is infatuated with The Tree too.  First thing out of bed in the morning, she starts exploring the lights and talking to the ornaments.

I make our breakfast while she chatters in the next room.

She breaks from toys and playtime to circle The Tree in admiration.

The Tree has our Christmas-loving hearts.

Here are a few of my very favorite ornaments:

Vintage ornaments…my mother grew up with these hanging on her childhood tree.

Sentimental…Ella’s First Christmas.  Tiny hand and foot.

New favorites decorated by my favorite.

My kindergarten crafted star…this is my absolute favorite of all time, so simple but the loveliest on the tree.  I think an Ella replication is in order.

I will be back soon to share more holiday cheer from around our home.  For now, Goodnight Goodnight.

Sweetest Wishes, Katy

I thought this was a party...LET’S DANCE!
