Over the weekend I got the house all cleaned up from Thanksgiving and got the Christmas decorations out.
With my daughter scheduled to have her baby on Monday, I wanted to have my house taken care of in order to help my daughter over the next couple of weeks if she needs me.
I’m sure I’ll be “tweaking” this and that and moving things around, but other than that, I’m done.
I even went through all my seasonal décor, got rid of anything I no longer want, and reorganized the rest.
Out with the old, in with the new…
When I found Johnson Brother’s English Transferware Christmas Plates at Home Good for $3.99 apiece, I bought 8 dinner plates. They will mix in with my white plates nicely, while adding a little Christmas cheer to the table.
In the meanwhile, I like them mixed in with the decorations.
I can’t close this post without showing you this photo my son in law took yesterday when big sister met little sister for the first time. Aren’t they beautiful? Believe it or not, little blondie had quite a bit of darker hair when she was born too…not quite as much or quite as dark as little sister though.
So, have you started your Christmas decorating yet?
Still following,
Elizabeth
I've started decorating in my dreams! I'm planning and plotting in between all of the 'must-do's' of life. I love your decorations - so nice. Your little grandgirls are precious. Such a wonderful gift from above!

Just gorgeous--especially your girls! The boxes are out and waiting on me to get through an extremely busy week. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you can even think about Christmas with those little angel faces around!
ReplyDeleteI'm pinning that vignette. I pinned it in the autumn, too. Apparently, I love that look.
Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your family with the new arrival. She looks a lot like her big sister!
Your decorations are lovely. It's nice to be done with them and just enjoy, tweaking now and then. The new plates are beautiful.
Beautiful, beautiful little sisters! I like your new plates too, both ornamental and useful - I love that combination.
