I have been one busy girl decorating the house today. So far I have the foyer almost complete, I’m just looking for a centerpiece for the table. I’ve got the tree up, and I just need my hubby to hang the wreath in the dining room Nico+ hammer & nail+ ladder= not a good idea 😉
Check back for some pics of the completed projects, we are off to the store.
The colder weather looks like it is here to stay, so I’m sticking close to home and working on decorating the house for Christmas. I’m not much of a holiday decorator, so this is a slow going project for me. I hope to have the Christmas tree up soon.
Yesterday I hung a few lights around our large leaded glass window, I and restrung a wreath with bright lights. Thade was so excited to see Christmas lights, I know he’ll really enjoy the tree too. I keep debating about keeping the decorating nice and simple, or going all out…
We just made it back from a very yummy Thanksgiving dinner. I think we all ate way too much, but it is a little hard not too. My Sister-in-law hosted and baked yummy thumb-print cookies. My Mother-in-law cooked a huge Thanksgiving meal, and everything was delicious. My Mom brought a tasty Green Bean Casserole, and I brought along some Mashed Sweet Potatoes. My Brother and his Girlfriend even came along for the Thanksgiving feast.
I would love to take a long turkey-induced nap, but there is still a lot to be done this evening. I need to wash dishes, feed the cats one more time, and empty all of the waste-baskets as tomorrow is trash day. Oh man I need to take the trash cans to the alley too, and it is freezing outside. Oh yeah better go and start dinner too 😉
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
We got the Thanksgiving celebrating started a little early last night. My Brother Rob stopped by and brought us Shatto Egg Nog, super yummy. Our neighbors also stopped by with a plate full of Fall Sugar Cookies (not all of the cookies made it in the picture). Thanks to all for the yummy snacks 🙂
I hope that everyone has a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
On my block the Christmas decorating has begun, but not at my house just yet. Today I have already seen two houses on our block that are completely decorated. When I went out to fix our flag on the flag-pole my neighbor was up on a ladder hanging lights in some pretty gusty winds. Man they are on top of decorating. My tree is still in hiding, and I think I might have the ornaments in the utility room, maybe. And just where did I hide the wreath, and the ornaments for the upstairs tree?
I haven’t even thought about the outdoors, and I keep it pretty simple when it comes to decorating indoors. There is one tree downstairs, one upstairs in the boys room, and maybe a wreath. Sounds pretty sad. This year I’m going to do better, I hope…
How are you decorating for the holidays? Do you decorate outdoors too? Any suggestions to make Nico’s home a little more jolly for the holidays would be greatly appreciated 🙂
