Decorating.
I love Christmas trees. If I thought I could get away with it, I would have a tree in every single room of the house. I decided that this year I was going to have a second tree. I just wanted a little one and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. I was thinking about going to the store and seeing if they had their trees discounted yet when Jack stepped in with a suggestion.
Jack took me for a little walk out on the side hill. Guess what we found?
Isn't it lovely?!
Good thing I brought a shovel and a bucket.
I didn't want to cut it down; I wanted to try and save the root so that we can plant it in the front yard after Christmas. Sort of like the old John Douglas Fir Tree (that's a family joke).
We managed to get the tree levered out of the ground with most of the root intact.
I hope.
Do you remember me telling you about saving all that dirt in the pots at the end of the summer?
Now you see why we do that.
I had a few small ornaments to trim it
Then I got the wreath put up.
It's not fancy, but I like it.
So does Jack.
Indoors I got our manger scene fixed to my liking. Old navy blue sheets are quite useful.
The wisemenman is still traveling from Switzerland
And one of my favorite ~ and quite important ~ decorations made it out to the piano:
It was quite a day, with this and baking.
I wore Mr. Marvelous' kitten out with all the activity.
Seems that Jack was a little tired too!
Now back to the baking....
