    I never start this early. But this weekend I had the time and energy. My plan was just to take out the Christmas stuff and plan what I was doing. But before I knew it, I was decorating. Here's just a few pics of what i did.

    Happy Advent!

    Our live 3' tree. I'm letting the branches settle before I decorate it fully.

    Lovely decorations. I tried to decorate but little man had other plans for me. Some days I could just scream.

    I also want to post these pics from my Church. During November, the month we especially remember the dead, we put names of our loved ones who have passed on this tree.

    I miss you, Grandpa!

    Very pretty decorations!! I love your real tree!

    I finally finished my Christmas curtains today and got them hung up. DD put the tree up for me and together we put the lights ons. We will decorate the tree tomorrow with when the grandbabies are home. I think I will put some extra lights up around the house this year. Having a toddler and small child around seems to bring a special joy to decorating.
