December has been filled with the usual festive activities... ever since mid-November, it seems our lives have been in a whirlwind! From each of the girls' choir productions to our annual Thanksgiving in Florida to Abbie's Christmas piano recital-- not to mention decorating, shopping and sending out Christmas cards (Yes, I am still clinging to the old tradition of sending cards through 'snail mail' as opposed to cyberspace... I did finally give in to the seemingly standard 'photo card' this year... but only because I wanted to share pictures from our trip... next year I'm going back to regular cards with perhaps an attached photo. I miss regular cards!!)
Here are a few glimpses into Christmas at our house this year (for you, mom!)
First- some of our Christmas decorations...
The fireplace:
The piano:
Our tree (which is happily still very green & drinking water!):
The "Christmas Card Tree" (I got this idea off of a blog that I read and think it is such a fun way to display our cards!):
And here are some of the fun things we've done...
Visiting the "Magical Nights of Lights" at Lake Lanier:
Putting together a winter puzzle:
Emma's 'dogsled' (& please don't tell her that her horse isn't a dog!!!):
Watching Abbie perform at her Christmas piano recital:
Here's a sample of her performance (sorry for the shaky videography & the fact you cannot see her face!!). Enter the password 'piano' and then click the play button.Abbie plays "Deck the Halls" from Wendy Timms on Vimeo.

Thanks for the photos, Wendy. Your live tree is beautiful, both shape-wise and decoration-wise. I am sure you had lots of assistance! I love your Christmas card tree - I can't figure out how you attach the cards. Our "Celebrate" plaque is on the fireplace hearth,next to our cute 3foot live tree with your needlepoint ornaments with the names of Jesus. I hope Emma doesn't have to travel far with her reindeer because he has a big load to carry! What a great imagination she has. And Abbie looks so grownup at her piano recital. For some reason, the song wouldn't play so I'll need help figuring that one out. What was the title of your "winter puzzle"? Is it completed yet? Thanks again for giving us a glimpse of Christmas in Hoschton at the Timms' house.
Love you, Mom and Anna
So glad you are back in blog world! Isn't it fun to give those who never see your home at Christmas a glimpse. I love getting ideas from other bloggers (I am guessing you saw BooMama's tour of homes as well!) I also liked the Christmas tree with cards idea - maybe next year. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
