Tis the season...hmmm...drat those flyers! One came in the house and with glee my angel clasped her hands together and exclaimed "It's Christmas Mama!! Let's put my tree up!". How can one refuse...her tree is small. I thought not a big deal. Let's do it!Sure enough the baby was in diapers showing me where he thought the tree should live and voila!! ...next thing I know the big tree is out and the lights are being strung!
Oh My! The world is being bedazzled, well as fancy as this rustic girl gets!! So here it goes... decorating with chicklets...can I even remember how it is supposed to go? Well...first Mommy rule...help unpack the stuff! So there we are...Tate got prepared and dug in...throwing around every ornament he could get his little grubby hands on! Whew. Good news is that we only lost one of the beautiful amber balls and his decision to chuck pine cones at the tree actually ended up looking good! ha ha ha. 
My darling Emma of course added her bits including her hand crafted ornaments. I think the toilet paper roll is my absolute fave! Some people are going to cringe but honestly I think its beyond fabulous!! This year she has very carefully drawn angels on three rolls and they are placed with great care in the family room on the mantle. Did I mention how close one has to look to see the angels? You walk in the room and ta da!! Toilet paper rolls...new trend?? ha ha ha.. knee slap!
Of course I had to keep going so the PJ's were place on the babe, no more naked decorating...too chilly even though man I love watching chubby little bodies get into trouble! So we tackled my front entry urn and Emma set up all the lovely trees we have. She did a great job! I was so very pleased. I am no where near finished this year so stay tuned for more and more!

Desperately missing my decorating partner in crime, Ulli...I am seeking a gorgeous glass of champagne and some seriously creative inspirations! My next blog and pics will be me tackling the front door...hmmm I have a picture in my head! Is it wrong to paint the door just for the holidays...unfortunately yes... I think it is!
