Reminiscing about last Christmas.....

I was strolling through my 2010 Christmas posts...

I got so nostalgic so I thought I'd share

 some of my favorites from last year!
(Humor me, please!! )

These stockings are all show

They are quite feminine for my 3 gals

 and they match my living room decor!
(the stockings that Santa fills are hand knit-
real stretchy so they can be filled to the brim!)
 and made by my aunt

Then last year we were lucky enough to get 2 pups-

what's a mom to do but make 2 more stockings

 but with a different theme of course!!

The stockings put a huge smile on my face

and I thought you'd get a kick out of them too!!

Some other holiday favorites from past falalalala's....

the holiday mantel-


Even my kitchen chandelier
 was invited to the festivities!!


the Santas




America the beautiful tree



Noah's tree



the mother tree


I love looking back
 but I'm even more
excited about what's to come!

Remember what I said earlier in the week...
Simplify the holiday

one tree this year

So, it's lovely to have my blog
 to remember times past in pictures!

One thing I'm not changing this season is
my Gingerbread House making party!!

woohoo-
it's this weekend with my 7 nieces and nephews-
ranging in ages 11 down to 2 1/2!
Don't worry-I'll take plenty of pictures-
although my camera lens may be covered in frosting!!


Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire
