(Belated) Christmas Pictures

Before the holidays, I posted a few pictures. I think I showed the dining room and its tree, the living room tree and the nativity display. I had hoped to post more shots, but the time got away. Between Christmas and all of its activities and school, I never had the opportunity to get back to this. I am taking advantage of this snow day to show a few more pictures which I had saved. Sadly, the decorations are down now. It always makes me sad, but we did enjoy all of it for a month. By comparison, the house always looks drab in January!


This is the kitchen tree, which had a Santa theme this year.

The table was set with Santa dishes.

 

 

 

 

Randy's office tree is a St. Louis Cardinal theme, with a patriotic twist.

This is our white penguin tree which revolves. It goes in our bedroom.  Decorated entirely with treasured penguin ornaments (all gifts and mostly from students over the years) it is accented with peppermint striped bows.

 

This is the grandparents' tree in one of the guestrooms. These precious ornaments were given to me from my grandma when she moved from her home and into an apartment.

 

This is the den tree and is decorated with some childhood ornaments of mine, as well as non-penguin gifts from students. Regrettably, the pictures are so blurred that you can't make out any of the ornaments. I'm not a great photographer!

One of the guestrooms is decorated in a Christmas theme all year. The little alpine stands in the corner and holds small framed family photos. I should have gotten a close-up.

 

This is the wall art in that room. The picture looks grainy, but it's not. I designed it through Uppercase Living about three years ago.

 

 

 

I need to sort through online photos to find my pictures of the tinsel tree, the solarium tree and the main tree in the great room. We already know that it's too cold and snowy for classes tomorrow, so I will try hard to get another post done since I will be home.

 

This was taken this year under the main tree in the great room. :)
