Our Christmas Trees...Our Christmas Trees

Yes, you read correctly...my mother in law has turned me into a Christmas TREES person. She decorates several in her house each year and now I've caught the bug! I have thoroughly enjoyed putting them up this year, mainly because of the lumbar rhizotomies I had on my back which meant I would not be in pain for three days after putting them up this year as I had been in years past!

TREE #1

First off our office tree. We put all the traditional ornaments on it. The ones that Tim and I had growing up, the ones we have bought together since being married, etc.

TREE #2

Our living room/family room tree. This tree is new this year. Tim got the tree and all the ornaments last year the day after Christmas. It actually has a 'theme'...we went with the gold, red, burgundy and tan ornaments. I think this one is my favorite this year.

See if you can spot the photographer in the photo below! You don't win a prize if you do though.Here is our famous Santa Claus we have next to the tree. He sings, he dances, he entertains the guests, he gets pushed around by Caden....Here is our mantle. We always go for a silver theme because I am not much on 'gold' tones.TREE #3

The media room tree matches the room perfectly. The blues and silvers are the theme for this tree.

TREE #4

Caden has his own tree in his room. The theme for this one is gumdrops, gingerbread men and candy. What more could a kid want?

There you have it. The 4 Trees at the Ivey home.

Tim and I decorated the outside on Sunday and I'll take photos of it when it is dark and post them as well.

I mainly did this post so that next year I will remember how everything is set up!
