A French Blue Christmas Tree

French Blue. 

French Blue, that pretty shade of medium blue that may have a touch of green....

Our living room tree this year is the slender Tree Classic Fir Kennedy Tree

 we had in our family room last year.  But we have had some changes in our space, 

like the addition of the portable baby crib I keep for granddaughter Reeve.

And an extra dog kennel in the family room for Piper. 

So no tree in the family room anymore, which is a bit sad.

I also couldn't shove the piano across the room and set up the big full tree in front of 

the window like we did last year, because there isn't enough room.

It was one of my most favorite trees ever. 

It had mostly pastel ornaments and it was simply breath taking.

It just looked wonderful and kind of grand next to the piano like that.

And when you drove up the street, you could see the tree out our front window,

sparkling away.  I love seeing trees in people's homes at night as I drive by.

This year I have added more lights outside, running with the tree lights we 

had strung for the wedding, and now there are even more.  Its so enchanting.

My favorite reading corner has its own little flocked tree on my french desk.

Its such an inviting spot.  You can create a little Christmas magic with a tiny

tree, if you aren't in the position to go all out with a big tree. This one was prestrung

with lights, and I bought it online from Hobby Lobby last year.

A tiny tree offers a big dose of cheer.

Bits of vintage looking trim with a bauble or two making

 anything cheery and fit for the holidays.

Decorating is more fun this year for some reason...

I think it has to do with a few things that include no longer having

to run off to open and work in my shop all day long.  And it might have

to do with being a grandmother to the most amazing and sweet baby ever.

I can't recall being more content.  Decorating is more fun when you are happy,

at  least I think so.  But maybe decorating can bring happiness, when

it comes to getting in the holiday spirit.

And this year I did a very special white snowy tree for little Reeve,

I call it my Snowy Sugar Plum Teacup Tree.

Hahah.  

It is fun to name Christmas trees.  I haven't really before.

Looking forward to our first snow of the season tomorrow,

and tonight we will be setting up the big tree I used to have in this room

at my mother-in-law's house.  Whilst wearing our Christmas pajamas.

Tomorrow we can shovel all the snow.

Merry Christmas!
