Christmas Tour of my House

I have loads of pictures here so I hope you don't get too bored looking through them. Welcome to my home. How'd we do this year?

It's that Time of Year Again!

I was planning on having pictures for you, but somewhere in the past forever months, I misplaced my USB cord that lets me transfer my pics from my camera.

Anyway, I just wanted to give ya'll a little update. I'm putting up the garlands in my house for Christmastime today. I understand that you "shouldn't" decorate for Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving, but I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving and I've been DYING for Christmas funtime to be here already. So, I'm starting today. Yay!

As soon as I find that cord, I'll have pics! Btw, this year, the tree's going to be red and gold. Joseph and I both agreed that we were going to change the tree up a little each year. This means that I'm gonna have to find some red and gold ribbons since I only have blue and silver from last year. Wish me Luck!

Looks So Empty

My house was beautiful for Christmas. I've really enjoyed every bit of greenery and decoration in my house this Christmas season. My parents' home was much too small to ever have much more than a small Christmas tree for the longest time and even now, they only have a 5ft. tree. Because of that, it has always been my dream to decorate my home with as much as my house will allow while still remaining classy (as in...not overdone). Unfortunately, Christmas doesn't last forever and this weekend was the weekend Joseph and I finally had the time to take everything down. Things went from green to very bare.

The stairs

My beautiful tree

The tree and its lights now

The emptiness left after the tree was taken down.

The stairs now. They look so PLAIN! I can hardly stand it. I've seriously been trying to think of what I can put on the railing to make it look a little less lonely, but I have no ideas. I suppose it won't look so bad once we start painting. (That starts next month, I think.) Do any of ya'll have any ideas of what I can do to add some color to my entryway until the paint starts going up?

Crazy Boys

Joseph and Tres and Titus kept me well entertained yesterday so I figured I would share a few pictures to show you what they were doing. Joseph and Tres spent the day up on my roof hanging up Christmas lights.

Up close but not too close.

Further back shot.

Wait! a random boy climbing through my bathroom window?

Dropping the extension cord over the side of the house for Joseph.

Tossing the extension cord up to Joseph. Yes, I know this one is technically before the one above it, but that's okay.

I know my blog hasn't been really anything but pictures lately, but I haven't been doing anything aside from work, decorate, and wrap presents.

We're Getting Closer

To Christmas, I mean. If you could see my house you would understand why I say this. Well, I guess if you scroll down you can see a few parts of my house.

Joseph was testing all the strands of Christmas lights and still hasn't picked them up.

More Christmas lights in the entry hallway.

Oh yeah, I finally got to start of my tree since Joseph finished up the lights on it. These are the left over decorations out of two boxes of 161 ornaments each.

The almost finished product. I need to get a few more spools of ribbon for the bottom of the tree.

A close up shot.

Do you like it? This is my very first tree of my very own. Please tell me what you think.

More Decorating

Joseph started the big tree this evening. Here he is hiding his face while stringing up some of the lights. (He doesn't like his picture to be taken.)

My dining room. See the lights that Joseph has plugged in laying there on the floor. He's been keeping them plugged in to make sure none of the lights are bad before he puts them on the tree.
These are all of our tree decorations so far. I think we're going to be buying a few more since I want my tree to be blue and silver balls, blue and white lights, and blue and silver ribbon. (Go Rollers! LOL)

Once again, I'll add more pics as we get futher along with the decorating.

Changing a few things around

I haven't changed anything in my life so far for this post as much as Joseph has changed up our house. First is our Family room. The second blue recliner is no longer in the corner in front of the DVD shelves.


Next the morning room: Joseph turned the table sideways and added the chaise.



Oh! and we started decorating for Christmas. Yes, I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but we'll be out of town for Thanksgiving so that cuts back on our time to decorate. This is right inside our front door. Do you like the tree at the top? That was Titus' and my idea. The garland will light up too once we finish it up and get an extension cord.

Then, my front room. The chaise was moved out of the front window and the tree was put up there instead. And, of course, the blue recliner came out of the family room.

So, thanks, for joining me on a mini tour of a few rooms of my house. I'll post more pictures as we continue to decorate for Christmas.

I WANTED to wrap more Christmas presents today

BUT... This was in the way. See, all of my Christmas stuff is BEHIND that door!
