A bit of decorating...

Now that Danny's birthday post is done, I can start with Christmas subjects! Last weekend (or as Megan would say, "Actually, it was the weekend before last") we trimmed the tree and put out a limited amount of our Christmas decorations. The tree, bought from the boy scouts, was decked out in colored lights for the first time in twelve years.

George was ecstatic, and I will say that it looks good, even though I prefer the white ones.

Then, we focused on the bead garland and the ornaments.

We're obviously going for a British theme this year. Can you tell? The Blue and Red Call boxes and Big Ben are are newest ornaments from this year (along with the Dalek that came in yesterday). Our LeMoyne additions from last year, the Tortoise and the Hare,

are front and center.

George's collection of Santas, Megan's nutcrackers, and the nativity sets

round out the lot of the decorations this year. We worked so hard that we collapsed from exhaustion.

OK, she was already like that. But, all of the decorating has gotten me very excited about Christmas! I can't wait!
