Christmas

This is our foyer. I used the Mr and Mrs Claus that we got the first two years we were married and added a fresh small evergreen arrangement. Notice the darling hanging evergreen on the mirror. My father-in-law made that for me for my birthday this year.
Our mantel

This year when putting up the tree we decided to go red and white, so If it wasn't red or white we didn't use it. I think it is prettier than the pictures show. It is not a very big tree but perfect for this spot.

Have I told you how much I hate the TV above the fireplace....but I am making it work.

We are also enjoying the fireplace. It has a gas log and is easy to light.
The girls light it while doing homework and it is so peaceful.


Last year we had no tree, as we we moved on December 22.
We are glad to be somewhat settled and ready to have Christmas in our own home this year.
Hope yours is blessed.
