Deck the Halls with Roses, white and Pink.....
Fa la la la la la. la la la la
Of course the Christmas picture of my Dad and I at Christmas when I was little--- sits front and center this year. I have loved placing old photos from long ago Christmases throughout my house..
Remember the old wire tree I found at DI a few years ago?
This year I finally "blinged" it up with old broken lamp shade crystals and chandelier pieces.
Tenney begged to have it in her room.. so there it sits in all it's beauty.
.... And yes... I do have Christmas red in my house as well.
It's dressed in the Kitchen.
This Vintage Snowman and Santa sat in the windows of my South Jordan Canal Road home when I was a child. I love them so much.. and they bring back happy memories.
Chad's parents had these Nativity boxes made for us one year. We love the boxes and the "story" shared inside.. and look forward to reading it each year...
We love the "reminders" all around as to the true meaning of this blessed Holiday.
Today I am Grateful for:
The Amazing Dream I had about Dad last night. It woke me up with such a "force" that I decided to write it all down on a pad really quickly so I wouldn't forget things... and I did just that -- at 5:30 a.m. I then couldn't sleep as I laid there dissecting and pondering it.
I have decided to start a journal about the times I dream of Dad. There have only been 2 so far since his death.. but the have been profound. I have cried much this morning...and feel as though I have been given a great gift just in time for Christmas.....

Love the decor..it's so you!
And I remember when Chloee had two very distinctive dreams about her Mommy in the first couple of weeks after her death. They helped her accept the reality. I've always felt like that was a tender, tender mercy for her.
Beautiful decorations. You do a great job.
Gorgeous decorations! As always. LOL. I'm glad you do a pink tree, it makes me feel less of an apostate for doing an all purple one. :)
I am glad you are writing them down. I wish I had done that with the dreams I had about my parents. I do it now, but didn't for years!!! You will be so glad you did!
Oh my goodness Ann...it's all so beautiful! But I knew it would be!
I loved your family photos this year. You guys make such a darling family!
Have a wonderful CHRISTmas dear Ann.

I love all those lovely decorations in your house. Isn't it fun the things that are special to us, that we lovingly place around at certain times, and they often times bring us happy memories.
Oh my goodness that is beautiful!
I love the pink. I am not sure I've ever seen anything so elegant!
Love each area. Thanks for sharing!
Your home is beautiful. It's so you!
Such a good idea to be able to write those impressions of your dad. SUCH a good idea.
Hugs my friend. I hope you have a wonderful week.
