The Glimmering of Christmas.

boxes found their way down from the attic. lights unraveled across the floor. ornaments unwrapped and ready to be hung on the perfect little branch. nutcrackers standing at attendance to welcoming the season. Stockings hung on the banister awaiting to be filled with little surprises. our Christmas tree was shaken, tree stand attached, and sitting in water just waiting for the trimmings to be applied. after the tree branches settled the trimmings were applied. lights began to sparkle between the branches ~ adding that glimmer of Christmas. ornaments strung with ribbon to hang on the branches. hallmark memory ornaments placed on the tree ~ building a tradition that will last for years to come. Olivia's first pair of shoes and slippers were tied onto the tree (thanks to the grandmas). sheer ribbon fell delicately between the ornaments to fill the empty little wholes.







our tree is up and sparkling. filling our house with the smell of Christmas. oh how love this time of the year.
