O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree(S)...

I've given y'all a sneak peek of my trees this year, but The Nester is having a "Christmas Tour of Homes" day and I thought I would join in! As most of you can gather, I LOVE Christmas! I love the music, the traditions, giving gifts to others, spending time with my family, getting your Christmas cards and seeing your precious families, and celebrating the birth of my Lord and Savior, Jesus!

I am always so excited for the Christmas season and I tend to jump the gun with putting up my decorations. I pretty much had everything done a couple of days before Thanksgiving, but only because when we were done with Thanksgiving I could turn everything on and enjoy it for an entire month!!

We have our main tree in our living room which has all of our personal and special ornaments. Like the wedding cake my sister game me right after I got engaged on December 17th, 2005. And the ornaments we were given when we got married. We got married on January 6th, 2007, so we received several ornaments at wedding showers. I also have the ornament my mom got me, my sister, and herself after we completed the Komen 3 day in November!

The tree in my dining room is my "pretty tree". The decorations match my curtains and furniture. Dave has labeled this the "Red Raider" tree since he is a proud Texas Tech graduate, but it SO isn't a homage to Tech!! Not from this Texas Aggie!!

Our bedroom tree matched our bedding, but it has some special ornaments too. We were given a set of ornaments as a wedding gift and they are wedding blessings. Each ornament symbolizes something different. Love, faith, health, prosperity, etc. What a wonderful gift! We enjoy getting out our ornaments each year and remembering all of the special events where we collected each ornament. (It didnh't photograph very well...it looks much prettier in person! ha!)

Finally, I have my kitchen tree. It is tiny and just for fun, but I have found some fun food related ornaments over the years and so it has grown into a tree of it's own. My favorite is the cupcake my sister brought me from New York! We LOVE the Magnolia Bakery and her apartment used to be WAY too close to it! ha! I am sure going to miss visiting her and getting in the Christmas spirit in Rockefeller Center! (But I am so glad she is back in Texas and closer to me all of the other 364 days of the year. :)I know I have already shown many of you this, but I just had to put in this picture of my favorite elf...Santa's little helper...

And just in case you're wondering why I put up 4 trees...let's just say I not only get it from my mama...but I don't hold a candle to her!! Check it out...
