DUCKS!

Here's m house warming present from my sister. Little duckies from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Decorating the house.

The tree got me in the mood to get the rest of my house all jazzed up. Here's what I did.

 I remember these from Christmas as a kid. I assume they were my Grandmother's

 Harper, Greg and Beth all have a stocking. The little ones on the end are for Kona and Tabor

 What? The Doctor is up on the mantle too.

 so is this guy.

 the fun light up tree I remember fondly as a kid.

 NOT Christmas, but I snagged this painting from my Mom's place. I like it.

 I put a little something on the door.

What else are you to do when you have a perfect little Christmas tree right outside your front door??

Christmas Tree!!!!!!

It's the first Christmas in the new house. I felt like I HAD to get a tree. I thought about going and chopping our own down and Greg was on board. So he, his daughter, and I all went to Illinois to get our tree. It was okay. You just go, ride on a wagon, get your tree, ride back and your done. It wasn't like the places my family used to go to where they had hot chocolate, Santa and a store. So next year we'll go to Pea Ridge. Any way, here are pictures of our lovely tree all set up and gorgeous.

TADA all nice and pretty. I think we didn't think the long needle type tree through all the way. It's really hard to decorate. 

 One of m favorite ornaments

Another favorite of mine. My first Christmas!!

 So my sister and I have started a trend of giving each other ugly ornaments for Christmas. This is mine from either last year or the year before. 

 This is another one from my sister. 

And this is probably my favorite ornament. I have no idea why. I just remember liking it as kid.
