An ornament thief

I keep finding ornaments scattered around the house. I think she might be the culprit.

N-O-E-L???

We have stocking hangers that spell out NOEL. We also have one more with the word NOEL on it. We've misplaced the stockings but I think they might be at my mom's so I'm not buying replacements yet. The re-decoraters keep striking and I keep waking up to L-E-O-N. Hey, at least they are making a word.

To me it's breath taking

To most people, it's just a Christmas tree, a not even all the way decorated Christmas tree. However, I look at in just awe.

To me, it is so much more then a tree. The ornaments are like old friends that I tought I would never see again. They were locked away in storage for so long.

We lived with Bob's mom for almost 3 years. I did grow to love his mom and I am forever indebted to her for her kindness. But her house was not mine. I was not in charge. I did not decide what or when to decorate.

This year I did. The day Sunday after Thanksgiving I was busting out with the decorations. We did it, we are finally home.
