Omgoodness...I have been busy (again) with work...crazy time of year!!! tho I got the trees up, decorated...now to get the boxes put away...hopefully by the end of the week. The above tree is located in the family room...our ceilings are 10', this tree is 9'...I have to find a new Angel or star for the top, but again I have time issues currently....lol
I have a advent chain the boys made years ago, with construction paper and Elmers glue, it's hanging on by a thread... they put it together, and I always have to have it on the tree....I love homemade gifts, they're the best!
this picture is the "Angel" tree...remembering family members whom no longer are with us to celebrate...but are always on our minds. I have this tree located in the living room. It's a much smaller tree, measuring 7'. Again with the 10' ceiling, this appears a lot smaller...sorry for the quality of the pics, I took them quickly with my phone. Maybe later in the week I'll retake with the camera.
We were very busy on black Fri...our Manager sprung for lunch on Fri & Sat....We had fried chicken, green beans, mash tators, and gravy on Fri. Sat's meal pizza!
C-boi stayed up at college for Turkey day, he celebrated with his best bud, and later had another meal with his girlfriend & family....he certainly didnt seem too upset not being home for the mini holiday, but we sure missed him. He'll be home in 3 weeks for the Xmas break...so happy...counting the days! Our nephew will be getting married the day after New Years...so this holiday season will be busy for sure...
Time to get a load of laundry started....Hope everyone had a nice Turkey Day!
Lovely trees, and I'm very impressed that you have two of them. I love the idea of an "Angel" tree. What a wonderful way to keep you loved ones who are gone near to you during the holidays.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Way back in the dark ages, when I was in college, I spent summers and holidays working in retail. I don't think that Black Friday was as bad then, but, oh my gosh, the last shopping day before Christmas was pure hell. It's a good thing I was young and sturdy then, or I'd never have made it through the day.
very nice touch with the Angel Tree, Cindi! it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your house!
