Holiday Time!

Hey Katd this is for you. Here are a few pictures of our holiday decorations.

We decorate for X-mas and Hannukah, I am Jewish although not so practicing. We have a 2 sided fire place so one mantel is Hannukah and the other is X-mas. I love being able to decorate for X-mas.

I have to say i was so speechless hanging the stockings this year....to see three hanging there is such a dream come true!!! Last year I can remember saying to Chris, "this might be our last X-mas as just a couple" Sure enough dreams do come true!!!! Izzy's stocking is very special because DH's grandma (who passed away a few months ago) made it years ago , before we were even dating, and had pinned a question mark on it where the name goes............so Dh's mom put Izzy's name on it and it is just so darling!!!!!!!

We have a huge tree, which I seem to always get more excited about putting up than dh(minus the spreading of the branches, I hate that part!) I love all the ornaments, especially all the ones from Chris's childhood, there are several elementary school ornanments on our tree. And of course we had to have a few baby's first X-mas ornaments, my mom bought one, it is Lenox China , it is kinda ugly but oh well.........i bought one that I have to put Izzy's picture in.

Anyway, here are some of our decorations, we still have no lights on the outside, and with teh crappy weather, who knows if we will get to hanging the icicle lights or not.

Oh and as a side note, the picture with the snowman quilt, I actually made it (with a lot of help from my MIL, she is so talented) I made it last year and am very proud of it :)

Happy Holiday's everyone
