Ornaments and The Gala

Just of few of my favorite tree ornaments
This sweet little horse was one of my grandmother's tree ornaments. Mamamia's little cedar Christmas trees were beautiful to me.
She must have loved horses. This was hers also.
Sid and I picked this one out in San Francisco one year before Christmas.

Strange, but this little troll hides in our tree every year. There is also a bunny that hides, but right now I can't find him. :)
Surfing Santa and a lovely school made one from the boys. Love.


Homemade one. Old red barn.

Sid and I attended his work Christmas party. It was actually called a Gala. It was a gorgeous party. The room was decorated so beautiful, food was delicious and Sid did a great job speaking. I look like an elf. Grrr....

Aren't these table centerpieces gorgeous? It was like they were floating in the air. Wow.

Great job honey!

Now, I need to get Christmas cards finished and mailed and a little more shopping done, and...well, there is a long list. Love this time of year! Blessings on your Monday.

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...
