Monday's News-Getting Ready...

This weekend was a getting ready for the Christmas Holiday time. We did a little shopping and Decorating.
On Saturday I finished put up the tree in the Family room. We decorated it later that night, listening to music and hanging all the ornament from years gone by. My daughter remembering her preschool years, and the making of various ornaments. Hubby and I remembering our years overseas and Christmas' of the past. I love doing that tree, it is so fill with Memories of Years gone by.

After the tree I was still in the festive mood so, I started decorating the whole room, From the fire place to the villages. This year there is a ocean complete with a Light house,(Photos of that on Wednesday this week).

Sunday was church time and then when we came home , I started tweaking the villages and the dinning room. Our dinning room is very Blue. The theme is Reindeer. Each year a add a new reindeer. This year is was ornaments.

Today I am still working on the solarium tree as well is the villages around the home. I love all the villages surrounding all the rooms. This year I plan on getting out some of the older house from year gone by. We will add a new one, Just haven't found the one yet. Was thinking about adding a type of store or maybe a new a Post Office. I will be looking for one later today.
