o christmas tree!


this weekend, blakey & i put up our christmas tree!  i know i know - it's not even thanksgiving yet.  but please forgive our early holiday cheer, as we will be traveling away the next three weekends.  & it's just so jolly in our home now!


we began our saturday morning with a couple of mimosas, football all day long, & lots & lots of christmas decorations!  our beautiful tree fits quite nicely in our living room.  & i finally have our christmas tree in front of a window to bring christmas cheer to those outside too.


when i said "we" put up our christmas tree, i might have been exaggerating just a bit.  this is much more of what blakey & tanky did while i put the christmas ornaments on the tree.  but blakey did take everything down from the attic, so he gets a little credit :)


our beautiful christmas tree with red & white & silver sparkles all around...


every year, blakey & i get a new christmas ornament.  this tradition began when blakey proposed to me during christmas time with my beautiful ring sparkling from an ornament on our christmas tree.  & it is certainly one of my favorite traditions to continue.

i love getting to look through all of our christmas ornaments each year that bring some wonderful memories...

                       {an advent festival ornament}                               {my barbie bride}

last year we received our first byer's carolers - the medical doctor & the pastry chef.


so a very early merry christmas to you!!


love love,
