Christmas 2011. My kitchen was ripped out. No baking...no smells of cookies....no Christmas tree. Christmas was in my heart-yes, but I was still missed the sights and smells of Christmas.
So, this year I determined to celebrate it for an entire 2 months. On Saturday, I baked for 13 hours straight! Yum!
I am also loving finally decorating my house for Christmas. I mean, green shutters and a red door?....This house was meant to be decorated for Christmas!
Yes, Jesse installed some exterior lighting just so my wreaths could be seen at night. Isn't he wonderful?!
We love having people over now. I can just close the door to the rest of the house and can pretend it's finished.
Here's some pictures of it all fancied up. :-)
I feel so blessed this year that we've made it through this far! I finally have a Christmas tree. If I get nothing else this year, I will be happy!
