This is my decorating from last year. Of course this year I didn't go crazy as in years past because of limited time. I love to decorate for Christmas more than any other holiday. Everything is just so beautiful and we just love the lights. It's such a magical time. Daddy always puts up the tree and does the lights. Then I have the best helper in the world to hang the ornaments. My tree is filled with very special rocking horses. I have been collecting them for years. Each one of them is very special to me. I even have some from Germany from my sister and there are a few that my Grandma made.
Each rocking horse is hung with care. We had a few casualties last year thanks to Bentley.
There is even a rocking horse tree in the kitchen!
My swag that I made a few years ago.
The stockings are hung!
I got a very special gift from my sweet friend SteffieJ this year. Some beautiful nativity candle holders!
There is so much more that I could write a book on decorating for Christmas, but I don't want to bore you. We didn't break out all of the decorations this year, but I am OK with less is more. Besides the only important thing we are missing this year is Daddy!
We have always had the most beautiful decorations and the hose has always felt the Spirit of Christmas. I can honestky say that without your decorating skills, the joy of Christmas wouldn't be the same. I really wish I was there to do my job and set up the tree for you and your Mom. I love you and my boy...
ReplyDeleteWOW Kim! Thanks for the tear tonight! I was looking at all the beautiful decorations and reading the blog, and then you said you missed daddy. Then the picture pops up. It was so sweet and yet so sad that I still have tears streaming down my cheeks. I know you all miss Tim so much. But, the countdown is on and you are more than half way home...or should I say, HE is more than half way home. Can't wait to see you all next week. Love Sue and Aunt Sue
