Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas!


This has been a busy holiday season. It flew by too quickly, so here are a few little reminders for me and you!


This is my mantle this year. I have always wanted to put a Christmas picture of my Super Cutie above the fireplace. This picture was taken in 2008, she was 51/2. Her smile lights up the room! Girly Stuff helped me spruce the mantle up a bit. She wanted me to track down even more stuff to add to it!






I have a bit of a Christmas decoration obsession. Once I counted, I had 5 full size trees and 5 mini-trees. I had a hard time taking what I thought were good pictures of them lit up.


Our big tree is all red and white ornaments. It is a 12ft prelit tree we have had for four Christmas'. This was its last, if you looked at it funny, half the lights went out, I would scream a profanity, my husband would come running and wiggle a few strands and on it would come. I can not handle that stress again. So I will buy another tree....darn!





In my formal living room or as Super Cutie calls it the Thanksgiving table room I have a pretty tree. All the ornaments came from Hobby Lobby, and I added red feathers at the top. It was one of my favorites this year.








In the breakfast room the tree is all gingerbread ornaments. I think next year I need to add some bows to it. I actually have some cute ribbon. I just haven't made the time to make them.






Sorry about the star. My dog almost knocked this tree over everyday it was up! I finally decided to only fix the star if company was coming!


I also have a little tree in the kitchen that has kitchen utensil and appliance ornaments on it.










I have a tree in my laundry room. My dream has always been to have a Christmas tree in every room. Every year I try and add a tree to the house. Imagine how excited I was when I found this Santa's laundry garland in an Avon catalog! I added lights to the tree this year.








My last tree down stairs is my Santa tree in the family room. It sits on top of an end table.





Upstairs Super Cutie has her own tree. It has a ballet theme. Of course, this year she made ornaments to add to her tree. I bought this tree this year, it is not a slim tree so it ate all my ornaments. I think next year it needs some bows, or more ornaments to fill it up!




(Whats with all my stars!)












My , I mean super cutie's pink zebra friend room AKA 2nd bedroom, has a totally girly tree. I need to find a tree skirt, or maybe make a tree sak for it next year. (sounds like I am already planning for Christmas next year with all theses to do's!) It has hanging crystals, and french themed ornaments from (where else?) Hobby Lobby! The crown on top was actually an ornament.










Speaking of hanging crystals! When I first saw these chandelier ornaments at Hobby Lobby in October I think I screamed out loud! I know I called girly stuff so she would help me restrain myself, and wait for a sale...which I did!












This was my favorite tree this year. I love chandeliers, and animal print! So it brought my two loves together!




The last tree is a filler tree. I needed some Christmas lights in the game room and had all this just hanging around.






These are just some of my other favorite decorations.


Santa hanging out on my front door.








This a playmobile Nativity set. It is so sweet, and I do not have to worry about it getting broken.








Last, but not least, my whole reason for going crazy decorating at Christmas time!




I love these 3 crazy kids!

Oh yeah! One more thing! Happy 12th anniversary to my wonderful hubby! I do not tell him enough how lucky I am to have him, and how good he is to put up with my crazy self! I love you King Pookie!
