A little Christmas cheer and a tree!

I got the tree up and decorated.
Our local nursery went out of business
and we use to always get a 9ft
so this one looks
Perfect!
My village all set up.
We have coming for dinner tonight some friends
who have a 1yr old and a 2 yr old.
My house has not been child proofed for a few
years now!

My little ladies.


My favorite Stockings...



Yesterday Amanda stopped by and remember
my previous post.
Well the coffee table in Jeremy's room
I found at the Salvation army
a couple of years ago.
and it had been hers
how funny is that.
Great minds think alike!
I'm ready for Christmas
and we woke up this morning to
fresh snow
so everything looks so fresh!
If you have not had a chance to enter my
Giveaway.....You have till

Back in the Groove

Note missing Hood vent.
We started working on the house again after taking

a long break....

I'm going to take this hood vent

design and tweak it...


and where I took out my pantry cupboards
I'm going to put in this next image.




I love these!





won't those look nice in this spot next to the fridge.
Oops sorry for the duplicate!


Look at how sweet little Lucy is feasting
like a queen!





I'm so enjoying the giveaway
until I have to say goodbye!







and with all the painting I have been doing this week
I sat down to enjoy a cup of coffee out of my new Florida mug
and one of these amazing
Key lime pie macaroons Jane brought me
back from her trip
with her cute daughter!
Well I painted Cory's room this week
and I will show you pictures soon
and Jeremy's room is next
This is the gray color I chose it looks so nice
with the white trim.

I will have to share later
the poor tree is now in its stand
and decorated.
I have 14 days
left of the store being open
and I have been having so much
fun with all my favorites.
I'm going to miss them!!!
till I reopen.
Sorry this was such a long
post.
My Mom and Dad lent me their
laptop till I get mine up and running
hence the long post.
Maybe if it was down more often
I would get so much more
done!

and they were down to 12 lucky tickets
and I won $50 and 6 cupcakes from Cold Stone!


and after I at 9:30 white knuckled it driving
home last night in freezing rain.
I had Corine follow me I was a little scared
a friend had dropped off for me

Sooo Sweet!
What a Wonderful day and I had fab hair

magicians in the hair department.

It's just not Christmas if.....

Every year since Mimi was born I have bought her
an ornament from Anthropologie.
but this year I had to add these sweet
crocheted ornaments from
Target


the frog, owl and fox.







I have had so much fun with
her little pink tree.








although I have to share
my Little Angel
had to sit out of an
activity in Gym
the other day because
she refused to pick a partner
because who she wanted to be paired
up with already had a partner.
We had a little talk....
I love this purchase
at Pier 1
this sweet owl mug
just makes my tea taste
a little better!
We all know I had plenty of time to shop
while stranded....
and scrabble!


and of course every year
I have to get the new Starbucks
Christmas C.D.
I love them all!
and last but not least
here is my beloved hard tack
Its not the holidays without
this and a little butter on top!
It has cardamon in it
so good!
What are some of your traditions?
P.s. It's so good to be home!!!!!!
