Christmas at the Connells

Christmas at the Connell's has officially begun!

It actually sprung two weekends ago

and I'm loving the festive look to our house!

We rearranged the furniture to add the tree to our living room.

Bumped it in the corner and switched the couch.

Now, we're all cozy!

Decorating the tree is my favorite part...

it's because I just love the ornaments.  Ones we've collected and been given over time.

Mom, Sister Beth, and I actually took a bow making class this year.

That tree topper is compliments of my handy work.

I love it!  (even if it's a bit big for our tree)

Those houses are from my grandmother.

They light up and look like a little village up there at night.

So glad she passed them down to me to use.

Oh and you can't forget about the stockings...

Hung with care of course!

Next year, we'll have one more to add! 

I can't wait for that...  or for Mr. Connell to get to be Santa

- he will be super pumped!

Nothing says Christmas like a big tree full of ornaments, a little furball to snuggle,

and (of course) a football game on tv!

Christmas is so fun!
