More Christmas

I thought I would add some pictures of our Christmas trees so those of you who aren't here at Christmas time can see them too. As I was trying to play with my camera and capture the pictures in the light that I wanted, I noticed that there is actually a setting on it to capture snow pictures at night. I'll have to try that one with the next snowfall for you. I never really fancied myself a photographer before, but when you have a decent camera it really helps. Although, I still don't think I am that great of a photographer. At least you get the idea. And now that I look at the bigger tree, I see that there is a dark spot in the middle. Guess I didn't quite get the lights spread evenly. :)

It needs a little more something to make it sparkle. Maybe some silver bows. What I really miss is the silver icicles we used to put on when we were kids. That was my favorite part of decorating. But, I sure don't miss the mess they left behind. Kind of like Easter grass from Easter baskets. You end up finding that stuff for months afterwards.

You also cannot see the Santa on a motorcycle sitting under the tree. That was given to Brian last year by his sister. Someone gave it to her as a gift and she thought he would enjoy it more. He thought maybe it would be fun to find a Santa suit, dye his beard white and drive his motorcycle through downtown. Wouldn't that be funny. I would definitely post that picture.


I should also have taken pictures of the dining room. Koree had a great idea to hang the stockings under each of their pictures that are hanging on the dining room wall. Brian hung ours together on another wall with some other decor and we hung Eddie's above his dish. It sure makes the little room look cozy. I found the perfect sign to hang in our dining room too. It says, "Our house may be small, but God knows where we live." Fitting, huh?
