falalala la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Oh christmas tree oh christmas tree............you know the rest. Ahhhhhh it is DONE! Decorated with all of my favorite ornaments and treasures. It is a wonderful tree,smells fab,looks fab, and is just amazing to me. I got the tree decorating bug from my gramma, ya know that certain "look" about it. It just comes out of me, her i mean. Weather its sewing or crafting, but most of all she shines through me at christmas time. I miss her so so much. When i was a little girl on christmas eve she would come over and she insisted on sleepin on the couch. I think it was because she wanted to fall asleep lookin at the tree. Maybe she had a chit chat with santa too. Who knows. But each year I feel her more and more at christmas time, each time i look at our tree. It helps me.And this little christmas angel, well my gramma shines through her too. She has her grammas middle name, she looks like her, she acts like her, and my gramma would have spoiled her rotten if she were still here. Since she is not here any longer, her daddy and i will gladly do it for her.
Emma really got into decorating the tree this year. Every ornament she put on the tree she would respond with "perfect"! She enjoyed every minute of it.

Look at that satisfied look on her face! She is just my perfect little angel and i love her so much it makes my heart ache!


She will keep these certain traditions in her heart always. I just know that she will. Every year i will look forward to decorating the tree with my daughter and i will be more than happy to watch her grow with these traditions and know that she will someday pass them off to her own children.



Merry Christmas to All! We wish you health , happiness, and good fortune forever and always!

  1. Your tree is beautiful, your gramma would be proud. And your daughter is just as gorgeous next to the tree. I also like your "ornament portrait" :) creative! I've had my 3 and a half year old son help me decorate the tree the past 2 years and he just loves it, of course my tree now needs a little help after he's in bed :)

    p.s. love the Christmasy blog

  2. The photos are stunning!!! I especially like the ones with your daughter, just beautiful. My husband and son picked out one of those "natural or victorian" Christmas trees. I really like it. We always enjoy decorating the tree as a family.

  6. Your tree acually gave me shivers it's so beautiful! Seeing Emma decorating the tree put tears in my eyes. That's how I see my little Alivia in a few years. That ache in your heart is the best feeling I've ever had!! Your Gramma would be so proud of that beautiful, sweet little girl you have. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas <3 Annette (AB Buddies!)
