I haven't been kidnapped by aliens...
or living it up in Las Vegas...
I've just been busy with the day-to-day life of three kids and a dog, volunteer commitments - and now Christmas. Nothing terribly exciting has happened (unless you count Awesome Possum's braces as exciting - I'm sure he doesn't).
I couldn't stand seeing the Hallowe'en post on my blog one day longer, so I thought I would show you my big decorating accomplishment for the last few weeks ;)
Every year my dad brings me an assortment of dogwood, pine, fir and cedar boughs to decorate my outdoor urn. This year I kicked it up a notch and asked for some birch logs. They seem to be the trendy thing to add to outdoor displays this year...
... and I'm nothing if not trendy!
My dad always manages to get some branches with pine-cones. I'm not sure what the red berries are - but they are real and they look great.
I still have to add the twinkle lights and since I've got some free time today I might even add some ribbon...
... Las Vegas and the aliens can wait.
