I swear I'll be back soon with Germany trip stories and pictures but until then I'll share pictures of my home all decked out for the holidays. As you may recall we had just moved into this home when the holidays rolled around last year so I elected not to decorate. This year with the trip I seriously considered skipping it again but in the end I just wanted to do it! So I sucked it up and spent some long days/evenings unpacking my stuff and can I just say......how does someone that has purged like I have still have 20 totes of Christmas décor? I might just be a hoarder....nope it's official I am a hoarder! I did scale back and only did the tv room in the basement and not the guest bedroom/bath, Mark's office, ect
Clarice is loving the fact we put up the big tree for the first time in 4 years and nothing has changed because she likes the view from inside the tree the best!
