Feeling Slightly Grinchy

Hello! I didn't die....just been busy.  I don't seem to be able to get into the Christmas Spirit this year. It's not that I'm anti-Christmas, it's just that it seems to be too much of a bother to decorate and stuff. I wouldn't even have gotten a tree except that Levi came home last night.....and I knew it would be nice for him to come home to a house that "felt" like Christmas. So I put forth some effort yesterday and ....

Mr. Adams and I went out behind the house and cut down a tree....

....and draped a string of lights around it. It's not fancy, but it will do.

Then I hung up the stockings....

Set up the nativity set....

"Thank You Jesus"

Set a few decorative items on the kitchen island.....

....and the living room table.....

....put the glass canister of antique ornaments on the trunk in the middle of the living room....

 "Beautiful"

Finally, I light a Christmas scented candle. Then Mr. Adams went to the airport to pick up Levi.

It wasn't much, but it was all worth it....he said it "felt" like Christmas when he stepped in the door!
