Having Fun

It's been a fun time with the grandkids (and granddog!).

Around The House Part 2

One of the areas of decorations we've done for several years is Rudolph in his corner of the kitchen. The grandkids have always posed for a picture with him to see how they've grown during the year so I wanted to be sure to find a place for him in this house. I think he looks right at home here. The old ironing board that we use as a table didn't quite work until I covered it in the dark red checked material. I like the way it turned out.

It's fun to have the table set like we're getting ready to sit down to dinner. I like the way it looks when I walk by.

Around The House

This is the table in the entry way at the frontdoor.

The Santa Claus collection that had been on the top of the piano in previous years looks nice on the sofa table that is being displaced by the Christmas tree. It looks inviting looking at it down the hall.

The Christmas tree greets anyone who ventures through the front door and keeps us company when we're in the family room. It took longer than usual getting it decorated. We ended up replacing all the strings of lights this year.

Christmas 2010

Our first Christmas in our new house is shaping up decorating wise. Things are beginning to come together even though it seems like its taking a long time. I'll post pics as I get things set up. Meanwhile, here is the outside of our house. This picture was taken just after sundown and since we face west the windows are reflecting the western sky. But, I wanted you to be able to see Santa and Mrs. Claus and the red bows on the lights either side of the front door.
