FIRST CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

I have been saying for weeks that I just can't decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Then I said I would begin decorating upstairs before Thanksgiving but wouldn't put any Christmas where it could be seen (our bedroom is downstairs). You already know that I'm having LOTS of people here for Thanksgiving. Well....I did start upstairs. I always have a tree in one room for the granddaughters and one in the other bedroom for the grandsons. It's so much fun looking for ornaments just for little "princesses" and also for boys who love sports, cars, and fishing. I sure do wish you could really see how pretty the pink lights look on the tree for Breanna, Maddie, & Emma. Here's the best picture I could get.

The tree all lit in blue lights are things that Keith, Zack, and Griffin like. I really should change theirs from blue to an Alabama tree (I may do that next year). I can use red lights, but this year it's done. Both of these trees look so pretty with only the lights from the trees on. I should know by now to never say that you won't do something because........after I finished the kids trees upstairs I moved to the kitchen and put my tree up in there. I started making excuses by saying that we will eat our Thanksgiving dinner and have our Christmas decorations up because most of our family won't be together at Christmas so we are just celebrating both holidays. My husband told me to stop worrying because I could decorate for Christmas when I wanted....so I just might pull some more boxes out of the attic. Here's the tree in the kitchen.

See my orange slices that I dried and the gingerbread ornaments. I have plenty of those left to go on my BIG tree in the den.

The next post is my 100th (I think). Be watching!
