Are the Halls Decked Yet ... ?

All the ornaments are on the tree
- or they were before my 4 yr old and the cat got their paws on it.

Had to include a shot of the ridiculously bedazzled star tree-topper that we have had for 5 years.  The kids think that it's the be-all and end-all of Christmas loveliness.

Our tree is right next to our entertainment center ...
so no - we do not have a stack of presents that reach the top of the tree!
(much to the boys dismay.)
















Made it into this
"Deep in the Forest" Etsy Treasury!

My little guy did some
of the decorating
and I have to leave you
with this final image.

They faced off -

Stared each 
other down -

Only one can 
be victorious.

- My bet's on Frosty.   ; )

'Tis the Season ...

It's finally a bit chilly here! We've had so much fun setting up the Christmas tree this year with our boys ... they get so excited to look at each and every decoration that comes out of the box. But the seasonal excitement can be exhausting for more then just Mommy I guess.



Knitted this
Santa Hat for
His Cuteness
(aka the
Yarn Slayer)...
seems to be a
nice nightcap too!








Had to express the Joy of Christmas through my spinning wheel too, of course. LoL. I've been LOVING the art batts that my fabulous Best Friend has been producing and selling in her Etsy shop. Visit LushMommy.etsy.com and you'll see just what I mean! Here are 2 of her batts in action!
