Christmas Tree Pictures
Alrighty - got the first set of pictures to show you guys - these are from the inside of the house. Mary is still buying things to put up on the inside - so - as she continues to add - I’ll take a few more pictures and post them up.
First - a couple different angles of the Christmas tree. Also - if you take a look at the mantle to the left - you’ll see the countdown calendar that I referenced in an earlier post. Also - you’ll see that mantle is very bare - well - long story short - while I was putting the Angel up on the top of the tree - I hit the mantle on the way up - which knocked down and broke all the ceramic figurines. I owe Mary a new Manger with all the pieces, a couple Angels, and one Santa Claus. Oops!!
I also had to repair the mantle - I knocked it loose! Also - you’ll notice there are only two stockings - Kylie’s and Ryans. We actually have 11 - one for each kid, one for Mary, one for me, and one each for the dogs. But, we figured with a 2 and 4 year old - it would be safer this year if we didn’t put them all up around the mantle. I would rather have had the stockings up - at least I wouldn’t have broken all the
And - here’s one of the steps. Mary likes to collect different figures - here’s the beginning of them. I’m sure there will be more by the end of this Christmas. Anyway - this is the last of the pictures for tonight - I don’t want to overwhelm you all!
Also - you’ll notice a gate around the stairs - some of you may remember the whole Kylie saga last April when she broke her arm. For those of you that are new - she fell down from the third step there and broke her left forearm. I’m kinda lazy and don’t want to hunt through the archives to post it up here - but - if you follow the tags for Kylie - you’ll find the broken arm posts. Anyway - that gate is now our and her protection. She can’t get up the steps any more on her own.
