The wrap, the tree, the Reindeer, and the pup!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Since so many people loved our wrapping paper I wanted to include another picture and let you all know that my husband gets all the credit for picking it out! We always try to have a color scheme... it is the interior decorator in me that wants it to look perfect... we usually pick out a paper and then a large box from my mom in North Carolina arrives to clash with our paper... she tends to pick out the paper with rolly polly penguins or funny Santas... but this year I opened the box to find all while and silver packages that look just lovely with our aqua, silver, and brown retro paper! It all looks so pretty under the tree... full of mystery and possibility... I will be a little sad to open the packages tomorrow... The paper came from our local SAMS... at the beginning of the season... Mr. D. went back to get more for next year... but it was all gone!

I am also including a picture of our tree... decorated with the Disney ornaments that I have collected over the past 15 years... If you look closely you will see Cinderella, Chicken Little, and Bella... along with about 100 more special ornaments from our visits to DisneyWorld... each one has a story and I love them all.

Next I give you a shot of me and Santa's funniest Reindeer... aka Mr. D. as one of the many characters he is playing in the children's production of Santa Claus is Coming to Town! Seeing my macho 6 foot tall hunky husband dancing, singing and prancing around as Blitzen was definantly a highlight of my holiday season!!! So this is how I spend my fifth wedding anniversary... along with a wonderful dinner at a fabulous Mexican restaurant after the show with our friend C&L and their two adorable girls... who now think Uncle Mr. D. is the coolest!

Finally a Big Happy Holidays from Truman and me (and Mr. D. who took this early morning snapshot this Christmas Eve morning!) We all hope that you have a magical Christmas morning and a restful end to 2006.
