Silver Bells

I finally found the time to put up one of our Christmas trees! YAY!

My husband and son went to Abilene to see our Uncle who had surgery and to also see the RIDER game (RIDER WON!) and then to see the Odessa Permian Game on Saturday. (MOJO LOST boo hoo)

So I had 28 hours to myself. (Of which I spent most of it editing orders.) Then Friday evening I finally began decorating our home for Christmas!

I,ve always wanted a Blue and Silver Decorated Tree. So I decided to do it while they were gone! We were trying to spend Christmas at our favorite Cabin up at Ruidoso NM, but we wont be able to this year. So decorating a tree with snowmen and all blue, silver and crystal ornaments is the closest thing to it.

I made some of my favorite Peppermint Hot Chocolate (Similar to what they serve at Starbucks) and put on my Amy Grant and Vince Gill CD and enjoyed the quiet peace. Just me and the Dog. I put Garland on the banister and a live wreath is gracing our front door.

Christmas is here at the Dobbins home now. Cheers.

Here is the dog admiring the Garland on the staircase. Doesnt she look thrilled? PS I intentionally did not "white balance" this image, As i like the warm look of the tungston lighting
