Christmas 2012 Review

Merry Christmas!  What a wonderful holiday season this was!  It was filled with Christmas shopping, baking, card making, gift wrapping, family and friends, football games and of course celebrating the birth of Jesus!  I put priority on relaxing and enjoying the season so much that I didn't take as many pictures of decor.   But I'm okay with it because I had an incredible time!  Here's our Christmas time 2012 review:

I love this Santa.  I've had him for close to 15 years

This is my pretend mantel...

Our Christmas Tree.  I don't know if I mentioned this before but the tree is about 25 years old.  It's a tree that Sweetheart's mom gave him about 12 years ago.  It was the Christmas tree that she used in their home back in NM.  When she moved out here, she gave it to him.  I absolutely love the tree ~ it's old and falling apart but I still love it.  Sweetheart on the other hand promises to toss it out each year but I just won't let him.  As long as it will stand, we will use it.  This year we had a hard time getting the star to sit straight up so for most of the month it leaned to the left.  It was pretty comical to light up the tree and see the star leaning -- I would tell visitors to tilt their head to the left and then look at the tree.....

Sweetheart's mom gave us this ornament last year -- she bought it in Miami, Fl. 

The magnet board below the picture was a gift from Sweetheart.  I  used it to hold our Christmas cards.

We had such a wonderful time at his party.  I wish I had a better picture of us; let's just say we had already started to have "fun" when I pulled my phone out to take this picture!  :)

I'm looking forward to 2013!
