A White Christmas - Dreams Do Come True!

In honor of our first Christmas together (and a basement filled with wedding decorations), we decided to get a new Christmas tree this year. I have three Christmas trees, but they're quite sparse and woodsy looking - I don't decorate them with anything but lights. And because our decorations were black, silver, and pewter, I decided to go crazy and get a white tree. I debated for a while but Barron was a fan and we had decorations, so hey, why not?


 This is as good as it gets this year. My grandmother is storing yet more decorations at her house, so next year expect bigger and badder!

I've also always wanted to decorate my dining room table with the pink glasses my mom had, silver chargers, etc, but never wanted to make the investment that I thought it would take. Then I remember the white dishes left downstairs by an old roommate and voila, it all came together! The green curtains don't really help anything, but it is what it is.

Sorry the pics aren't great - I should use a real camera!

 
Gotta love those pink glasses!! Arrangement from our wedding, created by my grandmother. She's so talented.
