Christmas at the Wood's

Just thought we would share some pictures of Christmas at our house. We were very lucky that it didn't snow so that I wouldn't have to work! It was a very snowy December in Illinois, so we didn't get our tree until a week before Christmas. It was decorated on the Saturday before Christmas, and I finally finished my tree skirt project on Christmas Eve. I made my first attempt at Swedish meatballs & potatoes, which we both devoured...sorry, no pictures. On Christmas morning we opened our gifts (some of which we had bought for ourselves and decided to put them under the tree to extend the gifting) and then went to the Wood family's house for the afternoon. Merry (late) Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

Here is our tree...
and the finished tree skirt...
and our gifts... (had to play photoshoot!)
and some ornaments I made a few years ago that were on the tree...
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Woods!

What a cute Christmas tree! Was that a crocheted edge? Thank you for sharing Christmas with us. I'm in Virginia now. Glad it didn't snow on Christmas day.

The edge was a tapestry edge that was three strands of wrapped cording attached to some sort of ribbon that I sewed onto the fabric. I found it in the tapestry/home decorating fabric section at JoAnn's. It took awhile to attach it. Hope you are having a good time with the Virginia clan!
