"C" is for Christmas

My Christmas kitchen.

I thought I'd share a few quick pics of our kitchen now that it's Christmas and four months has passed since the renovation completion:

I made these little bags to hang on the kids cubbies from the leftover webbing:

(Check out the kids table here.)

Santas on the ledge thanks to Grandma Florida:

One of my only sparkly decorations:

Showing some Minnesota love (the loon is the state bird):

I have to admit I'm having an aversion to the tree this year, I'm just not into it at all.

One giant pain.

Maybe there's too many ornaments of all shapes, sizes and colors.

Maybe it's because two strings of lights already died while on the tree and I had to fish them out to replace.

Just not into it.

Thank goodness Girl #2 had the stamina to hang every last ornament or they might have stayed in the boxes.  I guess for the kids the tree is everything because that's where the presents go.

To me the tree means work and mess, I enjoy all the other decorations around the house.

This is the only picture I have of the tree this year (see it below on the left side) and that's all you need to see:

Forget about decorating your mantel with the tv hanging up there, makes for a real challenge:

Thanks Ellie for prompting me to act on this post.  Enjoy.
