Good thing I uploaded these pictures right when I took them. Later that night while cleaning the kitchen and Reagan was sitting on the stool...playing with the camera. She broke it!!!!!
She pulled off the pieces around the lens and I can't even get it to close or turn off.
This is the third camera we've gone through. (I need to find the warranty paper to get it fixed)
We usually "light" up the whole house for Christmas, but since hubby is in Afghanistan and I'm not climbing on the roof or anything else this is what I came up with.

I really don't like "inflatables" but I put Santa up for Reagan, because she loves him!
I could not find my wreath. :/
I have two of these trees in urns, but couldn't find the other.
I did have the cords tucked in but the wind kept blowing the tree over.
I added lighted presents from TJ Maxx and some vintage Santa boots I got while in Houston last summer.
The vintage sled was an estate sale find by my husband.
I tied a Ballard designs wreath on it because I couldn't find my ice skates.

Another view of the yard.
We made Christmas cookies a few days ago (they're gone now)
Here is Reagan eating sugar....
Jonathan has a cold, so we don't know if we'll be going to Houston for Christmas.
If he's well by Sunday we will go. I hope so, I really don't want to spend Christmas here without my husband.
Merry Christmas y'all!

You did an awesome job Michele and your daughter is darling! I hope your son is feeling better so you all can go home for Christmas.
Christmas Blessings to you and your beautiful family,
Gail
You are such a good mommy to set that up all by yourself. I sure hope you are able to go. Colds going on around here, too. The mister has been sick and out of work the last couple of days.
You did a great job of decorating. It's so much fun to turn on the lights and admire your handiwork. Happy holidays...
Hi Michele! Oh, your lights look so pretty! I'm amazed you did all of this. I can see you're a good cookie baker too! ;)
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
I do hope you can visit family for Christmas. My grandson and I made Christmas cookies today-what a mess!I sent them all home with him, so I won't be tempted.
You did a fab job with your lights! I hope you get to go to Houston!!
Your chicken enchilada soup sounds yummy!
I really like your big blow up Santa. He fits perfectly on that side of the house and it adds an instant bit of cheer to your house. I think you did a great job. I'm sorry to hear that your son has a cold. I would ask the doctor or even pharmacist what you could give him so he can be on the mend for Christmas vacation. I would hate for you to miss Christmas with your family!
I like all of the lights outside, Michelle. Oh, I hope ya'll get to go to Houston for Christmas. That sweetie eating the sugar reminds me of mine, she will still grab a bottle of sprinkles from the cabinet and eat them. No cookies needed, lol.
Michele, YOu did such a nice job of fixing a Christmas for your kids all by yourself. I sure hope that your son is well enough to travel and you can go home for Christmas. Blessings- xo Diana
Hope you get to go home for Christmas. I know the 3 times my hubby was deployed I never went home for Christmas...but it's always nice to get to be with family during the Holidays! Hope your son feels better soon. We have a sick house here too..strep and ear infections..no fun!
All the best,
Rachel
I think your yard looks amazing, Michele!
Your daughter is precious.Those little finger smears are the plate are too cute!
I hope your baby feels better.
I will say a couple little prayers.
Don't want you spending Christmas home alone.... with a sick baby to boot!
Your boots on the porch are sweet too!

She looks as sweet as sugar herself! I love the white lights on the railing. I don't blame you for not climbing up on the roof. I wouldn't do that either!
OMYGOSH....your yard and porch look fabulous. You did an awesome job on it....all by yourself. Bless your heart.
Sure hope you get to go on your Christmas trip.
People around here are sick, too.
Have a good Christmas, dear one.
Maybe your hubby will be home soon.

Looks so festive....I hope you still are able to go home for Christmas!! Thank you for the prayers and have a great Christmas!!
Well done Michelle...I have done most of the Christmas decorating myself my whole married life. I know how overwhelming it can be but you did a great job. I just know your son will get well enough to travel...hang in there. Happy Christmas!
Hi Michele, Your outside lights look great...you did an awesome job. I do all of the outside lights myself every year...hubby wants nothing to do with it anymore. I can't wait until the boys are older so they can take over.
Hope you son feels better so you can enjoy your Christmas in Houston!

Michele your outdoor decor is fabulous! Of course one of my favorite things is the monogram red pillow. It looks like the perfect accent.
Congrats on winning! I was so very happy when I saw you won. Hooray! Let me know what you find with your gift card.
Thanks for the kinds words on our tree and photo. You are too kind.
Merry Christmas to you and your family! ~Melissa :)
Michele,
Your house looks adorable! You did a great job by yourself! Regan is so cute, hope your son was better so you could go home! Aaron is back in the states and will be here Thursday, can't wait. I'd hoped your husband would be too.
Have a Merry Christmas!
