I haven't really been in the mood for decorating the last few years, but this year I am. Knowing that Eamon will be so excited about the decorations this year is a big incentive. However, it's been a slow process. We got some things out of the basement last week and Lee went and bought us a tree at the Boy Scout Tree lot (where else?) He did a good job, it's a beautiful tree.
Tree without lights
Some of my little stuffed critters on the stairs
The stockings hung with care. Yes, there is not one for Brady yet. For sure by next year. Amy bought a kit for him, but I decided it's not fancy enough. I also think Eamon's is too small (smaller than the others) so I might make him a new one, too. Asked Amy how many children she was planning to have so I could order several in the same style (see Amy and Ely's match), but she didn't have an answer for me. She said I should call Ely and ask him how many he's planning to have so I can make matching ones for his kids, too. I'm not going there!
Initial decorating attempt was Tuesday night, but most of the lights were dead. Are those things disposable or what? Seems like you should just throw them away every year and start over with new the next year. Since Tuesday we've made a little more progress.
So, since Tuesday, we've made some progress:
Tree has some lights, but realized not enough so that's one of the things I went to Hobby Lobby for today.
Notice new tree skirt, also curtesy of the 50% off sale at Hobby Lobby. It's hard to see, but there are reindeer on the roof tops.
