Happy December

Hey friends. 

You know me, 

so you know one of the things I'd love

about being in a new house, would be to see how 

it looked all dressed up for Christmas. 

It's fun to see how all our old decorations look in a new space.

I added two things this year.

The first is this huge canvas I had Doug design for me:

love. love. love. love. love.
how it turned out
We made it personal by adding our established date:
 'this house believing since 1993.'
Twenty-five years.
Hard to believe.
Wait, I just said ‘we believe’.
Moving on...

The wreaths that we had outside on every window at our last house,

came inside.

The Christmas item I get asked most about.

NOEL

Bought it for $10 at Costco yeeears ago.

It was sparkly and gold, I painted it white.

 

It's tucked in a corner this year.

Our new porch is considerably smaller than our last,

so some of our porch decorations made it indoors.

This garland has been in 3 different houses now.

Loved it in each.

I don't think I'll ever stop loving this table.

Front room tree holds the second new thing for this year.

The kids and I spent an afternoon making ornaments out of clay.

We thought of all the words 

that remind us of Christ and stamped them into the clay.

It will be a nice memory when we pull them out year after year.

In Georgia, we don't get the ski lodge-y feel that often.

But we've been using those rain-boots more than we did our 20 years in Seattle!

Hope you enjoyed this little tour of our new place at Christmastime,

Peace and love.

Merry Christmas!
