Whew, what a weekend! A Disney show, two holiday parties plus a birthday party for a two-year-old that was a hit. Do any of you have children born in December? It's tough...wouldn't change it for the world, but talk about adding one more thing to your list this time of year! Although with each year, I enjoy having the party this time of year more and more.
I know I'm not the only one in blogland hosting a Christmas tree party, but the more the merrier, right? I couldn't resist! So share your tree(s), your ornaments, your themes, whatever!
I have a total of five trees in our house. Before you have a conniption, the extra four aren't nearly as big as the Tree of 08 That Tumbled (I gave it a name) but they are still fun. One is an itty bitty tree in our son's room, another is a kid's tree upstairs for the kid ornaments, one is another itty bitty tree in the kitchen, and the last is our family room tree.
It's my silver and white tree and houses most of the ornaments that hold special memories for us:
These I got our first Christmas together: (Just say it, "Awwwww...")
This one is from the December we got married in New York City. Talk about magical. NYC in December...sigh...
Plus all the pretties. I love every every single ornament on this tree...
This tree is a "thrifty" one. Translation = I was too cheap to buy one tall enough years ago, so I have to prop it up on an ornament box. I cover it with a snow blanket and tulle and make it a little ballerina tree. :) This year, the day after Christmas, my first purchase will be a tall, skinny tree for this spot. I'm on the lookout...Sooo, now show us your trees! I want to see all the ornaments, the colors, the lights, everything!! Remember -- click on the title of your post, then put that html code into Mr. Linky.
HAVE FUN!
Oh, Oh! Go over to Julia's for more holiday fun this week!
Ohh...and Kimba is having party too!
Oh, how fun that you're having a party, too! Why don't you add a link to my party on this post and I'll add a link to yours on mine. Then if people show up at your blog in days to come they won't have to search for your party post.
ReplyDelete(Did that make sense??)
I'm amazed that you have 5 trees in your house. I barely managed to get my 2 decorated (one upstairs in the playroom for the kids, one in our family room). Love your colors. Everything looks beautiful!! -Julia :-)
Your ornaments are beautiful!!! Thank you for hosting this party!
ReplyDeleteWow, I could barely get one tree up! Love yours!!!
ReplyDeleteYour tree and decor are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to join your party too!
Glory me! Love your tree!
ReplyDeleteOk. Trees. But it didn't rhyme that way. :-)
I linked up my Monday post and added your link to the list of parties I'll be swinging by. Woo hoo!
Kimba
All your ornaments are gorgeous, but my favorite is NYC ornament. It really is a magical place to visit during the holidays.
ReplyDeleteWhen you said you had five trees up I was like "Dannnng!"
ReplyDeleteBut then I thought about it, and I have 7, lol. BUT three of them are not decorated. They just sit on top of my cabinets in the kitchen. They are still pretty though. Next year I will decorate them.
The others are the one shown in our living room, one in the dining room, and one in each girls' room.
I love Christmas!!
Beautiful home... beautiful baby!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!!
Blessings

Beautiful tree! I think a silver and white tree is the most elegant and stunning kind of Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog!
I love that sweet newborn baby face. What a special ornament! Also love the pearl hearts, intertwined forever. Aww, now I have a big lump in my throat.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Just found you via HookedonHouses, and I'm so glad I did! I love your blog and your style, and you just gotta know I LOVE thrifty decor!!! I'm adding you to my blogroll right now so I don't miss anything.

Yup, I said Awww when I saw that ornament photo! Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove your ornaments! Glad to know there are other people who like to have a bunch of trees!
ReplyDeleteI gasped at your tree laying on the floor. Our real tree this year has been leaning several different directions so far. I'm holding my breath, just hoping it stays upright.
Thanks for hosting this party!

I love that you have so many trees! I love putting trees outside (because the outside around my house doesn't seem to have them) and lighting them all up nice and perty at night. Fun, fun, FUN!
