Christmas Around Our Home

I realize this is a little late, but I still wanted to share some photos of our home all decked out for Christmas.  I am terrible with a camera and can't seem to get good lighting.  Maybe I should've taken them during the daylight hours.  Well, I hope you enjoy.

This is our "big" tree in the living room.

This is just a close up of my fireplace mantel.

This may be hard to make out, but this is my window sill in our big front window.

This is just inside our front door.  I love to be reminded of Christ's birth when I enter through this door.

This is my "little" tree in our dining room.  I'm glad it's there, it has provided more space for wrapped presents.

Another nativity.  This one is in our dining room.

These last several photos were just around my kitchen.  Did you notice my roly poly?  (the rolling dishwasher)  It will soon be "rolling" away as we will be redoing our kitchen after the new year.  I'll keep you posted.

Well, that's all.  I hope you enjoyed.

Happy Christmas Eve.

Just a little bit of Christmas

I've been so busy working lately I feel as though I haven't had time to enjoy the Christmas season.  I didn't have to work today, Hallelujah!  And I got a lot of things caught up at home.  I even found time to read a Christmas book to Britt's class today.

That's Britt semi-standing in the gray shirt!

It was a lot of fun.  They were such good listeners.  They said I can come back and read again sometime!  :}

I got a little Christmas shopping done today and some Christmas wrapping.  The boys were very excited to see presents under the tree.

This evening we went to hear Collin sing with his choir at a school Christmas concert.  I won't tell you when Collin informed me of this concert.  4:00 today.  The music was beautiful.

Collin is the second boy to the left of the burgundy shirt in the front row.

Sorry, that's the best my camera could do!

Also singing tonight was my niece Carien.  She sings as part of a "glee" club for the school.



Carien is wearing the green scarf.

She looks beautiful doesn't she?  She looks just like her mother.  (my sister)

Some of the other girls singing were a part of my volleyball team this year.  I love them.  Enjoyed so much listening to them sing.  They did a great job. I am so thankful that I was able to enjoy a little Christmas in the middle of a very busy week.
