We had such a fun time decorating our Christmas tree this year.  We have a lot of personal ornaments  that we have use for over 20 years but this year I really wanted a base theme to start with.  I went to see what Martha Stewart had to offer at Kmart and wow was I excited!  We decided on using her "first snowfall" collection and were very happy with the results.  The topper is an old one that I couldn't bear to change, but we got some great snowflakes, frosted leaves, snowy pinecones and different color round balls, and some silver and blue bells.  I even splurged on a new tree skirt!  Last year we had a lot of illness and our tree reflected the sad state of our home at that time, so...this year I really wanted to make the tree peaceful and happy.  Sometimes the small things really help.

We made snowflake cards to send to grandparents today.  I also went out to get ingredients for a delicious birthday dinner for my dear husband tomorrow.

We are making home made lasagna, salad, garlic bread, and a triple layer butterscotch-pecan cake.  yum!  Maybe I can have some fun gaining back the weight I lost from having the stomach flu.
