Last night I hosted our mom's group Christmas party.
It is group of local moms [about 100 of us, I think} with preschool age children.
We meet each month and host activities for young children throughout the year.
Last night was our December meeting and holiday party for the mamas.
I agreed last summer to host it at our house.
Thankfully, I didn't need to prepare food, just clean the house
and keep the boys out of the way for an evening.
It was a fun night and I didn't take a single picture. What sort of blogger am I?
I did snap pictures beforehand.
This is likely the tidiest our house will be this December, so come on in....
{Carrye, I shamelessly copied your ribbons on our bookcase wreaths! :)}
I love Christmas in our home to feel cozy and filled with tradition.
I love hanging the little Danish window ornaments from my Dad and Mormor (Danish grandma),
I love seeing my lifelong collection of bear ornaments from my Mum hanging
alongside handmade ornaments from my children on the tree,
I love seeing the Christmas themed gifts given by dear friends propped
on the bookcase or hanging on the wall,
I still like traditional red and green,
lots of white candles and wreaths.
Our home and December activities tend to look the same
each year and I like it that way.
Have a great weekend!

Cozy is THE word for it! Makes me want to pop some popcorn, put on a Christmas movie, and just settle in. If you ever tire of that great red buffalo checked ottoman, I call dibs! It would fit in beautifully in any room in my house.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy almost-the-holidays weekend!
