Christmas in the New House

One week before Christmas and I was finally able to get to my Christmas decorations and the tree (I know, I gave it away, yes I have an artificial tree....with lights already in it!!)  I have not pulled out everything I own Christmas...probably not even a fourth of what I have stored...but it is beginning to look very festive here, so I wanted to share some little vignettes with you....

I really wanted this Bakers Rack in the kitchen eating area and we actually planned a wall for it, but then when we were unable to get our original table we ordered and had to take this other table, it was 9 feet long and with the chairs this bakers rack just didn't fit into the space...the table had to be off center of the windows and all the lighting didn't line up with the center of the table.  So we decided to put it into the entry and it works just fine!

The Nativity scene is on the mantle...away from little fingers!

 That is all I have for now, I am sure in just a few days from now, more pictures will be on the blog sharing our Christmas joy with the whole family.  We will host the Christmas Eve dinner with Scott's parents and his brother and wife.  Christmas day will by just dinner with my dad and my daughter's families. 

Christmas blessings to you all!
