Guess who had three cups of coffee tonight at the party? This girl.
The big man and the mini-men are a-bed. The big man finished up his ER rotation tonight, and the mini-men partied hard. The miniest (am I losing you?) napped mid-party, but Kingston…well, the guy knows how to socialize. Hanging with the kids freaked him out so he stayed up with the adults, flirting, chatting, drinking eggnog. At the end of the night he was happily camped out on the sofa between two ladies, having a blast. Hoo boy.
This is our first Christmas here at the new place. Have to admit, I wasn’t too fond of the idea of decorating, since I’m still just decorating the house for, you know, the other 11 months of the year. Turns out this house looks quite charming with her hypothetical halls bedecked.
It’s so interesting seeing people’s trees on my newsfeed. Christmas trees are like handwriting: personal, tell-tale. My tree has colored lights, because that’s what I grew up with and it just seems more warm and familial. Here’s some snaps of my decor this year. Enjoy the dying days of Christmas beauty before the LED craze brings the entire country down… the visual equivalent of “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.”
Admired my friend’s little birds, so she gave me one. 🙂
The strand of stars and the little ornaments are from Germany. My Mother In Law just brought them.
The bark reindeer and candle, also gifts from Germany. The white deer head from my friend.
And angel from Kenya
This ceramic tree is from my Grandma. She loved Christmas. I love having a piece of her Christmas in mine now.
“Come Adore”
How awesome are these guys? From the same friend mentioned above. 🙂 Where would my Christmas be without her? 🙂 The mushroom is from Ikea.
The mantel. Stockings hand-knit by an aunt. Pictures of my babes at Christmas-time. Nativity from-guess?? My Christmas-loving friend.
the Treeeeee!
