Maybe I should start a holiday blog. Just stopping in to say Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!! I loaded these pictures about a week and a half ago but never got on to edit and write up a post. So sorry friends. Things should be looking up though with Christmas behind us now, I hope to be a little more blog-post-friendly. :o) Even though Christmas was yesterday, I'll still finish this post and then move on.
Here's a picture of my Christmas tree with my many strings of lights. It takes me a long time to put the lights on because I wrap them around each branch like the artificial trees are done. I just love the way it looks so much better than just looping them around the outer branches of the tree.
My son-in-law's sister bought our little Emily her first Christmas ornament. Kind of funny because they are Jewish but she knows I celebrate Christmas and that we would have a tree. Speaking of which, it is SO dry, I need to take it down already. I want to be sewing but that has to take priority. I think I'll sew a little, take down the tree, sew a little, take off the lights, sew a little....you get the idea. hehe

Here is the outside of my little house. I always joke about it looking like a 'runway'. I got those big Christmas bulbs/lights from Michael's and I line the walkway with them. I think it would be so cute to string them from the roof but I can't afford to buy that many.
There was an itty-bitty bit of crafting done before Christmas. I made this tulle Monster wreath for my friend's sons birthday party. It's a Monsters Inc. theme and my oldest daughter saw this on Pinterest so I copied it. It came out pretty good even though my glue gun melted the bottom of the eyeballs. lol I had to use tacky glue instead.

Speaking of little Emily, here she is at about 5 weeks old. She started to smile on cue. My goodness, this girl has us all wrapped around her little finger. This is the reason there were no handmade ornaments this year and a lot less baking for the neighbors. lol
I "finally" started the Celtic Solstice Mystery by Bonnie Hunter. I'll share some of that tomorrow. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Your tree is beautiful, as always, but that little cutie takes the cutest baby award for sure! Adorable!
She is so crazy flippin' sweet! Ooooh, how drool-worthy and smile-inducing. Congrats, gramma! Is Richard home for good? Sounds like you had a full, loving, super special Christmas. Hugs to you!
