It's Christmas! We have just finished decorating our Christmas tree...beautiful!
The whole house is full of excitement and the festive smell of fresh fir.
We headed out Saturday morning to choose our perfect tree.
Strong helping hands...Benjamin gets the job of cutting and Doug carrying...no snow or rain for this year's outing!
oops, a couple of slips in the mud...but all fun (for us anyway).
We adorned the tree with fairy lights, candy canes and our collection of favorite nostalgic and handmade ornaments...so many happy memories of Christmases past.
I love the simplicity of the tree...it fills me with joy and Christmas spirit.
I hope your Christmas season is full of excitement, joy and love.
I’m completely flummoxed by our downstairs layout and features. I feel like I’m going to go crazy trying to figure out the best layout to best use the current elements AND create a beautiful space.
The rough edges of the bureau draw me closer. The ruts and worn edges under my fingertips are like the groves of a record, replaying our precious stories. Memories flood around me, mixing joy and aching nostalgia… little feet pattering down the hall soft rosy cheeks snuggled against teddies Laughter and warm embraces, music and dancing feet. …passing time. My fingers linger on the imperfections as I savor the precious memories… our life and love resonating in these marks, our history inscribed…our beautiful life… beautiful imperfections have a beautiful week xo shelley
