Christmas Decorating Time in Virginia

WARNING
If you are NOT a family member you may just want to skip this because I am going to share our fun decorating for Christmas last night!
This year it was Sarah’s turn to put the STAR on the TREE. It is a BIG DEAL and we can never remember whose turn it is so we have to look at the pictures from the previous years to figure it out! 🙂

Greg and Christi made half cranberry half champagne toast treats – we sang, we danced, we made canoes out of boxes, we decorated, we oohed an aahed over decorations from the past three years that the grandangels had made! Each year everyone gets a new ornament for Christmas so it was fun to remember who had what and when! HM……some of them – like the CRAB ORNAMENT was not matched up with a person for sure!

It was actually ALL LOTS of fun however little Ruby (our dog) was really showing signs of anxiety until Greg gave her an herbal chill pill. I think maybe she missed her previous family?

This year we have lots of Christmas stockings hung (one for each member of the family plus 5 pet stockings) and we always have this BIG DEBATE about which suction hook window hangars for the stockings are the best. Honestly I cannot figure out why the debate continues year after year because I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE ONES FROM QVC ARE THE BEST!!!!

Anyway here are shots of some of our fun! Actually it was all fun except for when Greg played “GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER” and another VERY SAD CHRISTMAS SONG that they play every year because as HARD as I try NOT to cry, I always do.
Enjoy the pictures – and if you happen to notice that there are no pictures of Max then just remember that the football season coincides with the Christmas season and so Christmas decorating doesn’t make the top of the list for fun things to do on a Saturday night. :):)
