Christmas Decorating

We usually try to decorate for Christmas the weekend of Thanksgiving, but that didn't happen this year (and frankly hasn't happened then for a few years now).  And for reasons I don't even know, I didn't get any pictures taken of the inside decorations, other than the tree.  So here is the outside of the house....

The tree.....most of the ornaments we put on anymore are either gifts or made by the children.  

You'll notice many of the ornaments are congregated near the bottom.....bet you can't guess why?

Here is Kyle's wreath for the cemetary.....

And of course, the figurine we buy each year....

And here are all the figurines so far.....from left to right:

2009 (bell with the angel boy on top)

2005 (bear with angel baby asleep on leg)

2004 (angel wings around mom in pink shirt holding baby--this is the one Chris got me while I was in the hospital, when they were born and what started the figurine tradition)

2008 (angel with boy in snowglobe)

2007 (angel hold baby boy in blue clothes)

2006 (angel holding baby boy)
