The day after our snow was so beautiful. The sky was a bright blue and the trees were dressed in white.

Dec
We went with red and white lights and hung a variety of ornaments. I realized I could do multiple (smaller) tree themes: trains/cars/planes, shoes, birds, carousel horses, Star Wars, or Rudolph.

Love,
