Getting Ready for the Holidays...

Ashlynn was in charge of putting the tree together, while Veronica helped with the lights along the banister.

It was so nice that we had the space so our tree wasn’t just squeezed into the room and that we could actually decorate all around it. Our ornaments aren’t fancy, but many of them have special memories of places visited.

We don’t have a fireplace, but found a good place to hang our stockings.

I took a class with the British Club to make this lovely holiday centerpiece. I was so impressed with the instructor — she found the greens and pine cones in the forest, baked the salt dough stars and dried some crabapples and oranges. I was so proud when the girls asked where I bought it.
