Your home looks so beautiful!!! You and Stuart just sound like you are having THE best time with one another! Never, ever lose that! It's a blessing to be TOGETHER at Christmas and really any time of year! But may each Christmas only grow in the beautiful love between you two. <br /><br />Love, love, love the stockings. After years of cheap stockings, last year post-Christmas I bought us some lovely ones (even baby Elyana, who was still inside me).... I picked out one Jonathan LOVED... beautiful birds (cardinals? I forget...) stitched on it. It epitomoized everything he loves. I think if you count the bird pictures in our house, there are like 8 or 9 pictures throughout... So fun! I would love to see Stuart's up close! I love how well you know him! You are a sweet wife and his perfect partner! :)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325492689515460829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791243171523540864.post-487889492460150352009-12-19T13:17:05.252-05:002009-12-19T13:17:05.252-05:00Haley, you've done such a great job decorating...Haley, you've done such a great job decorating our home! And thank you for my 'chalkboard' stocking (looking forward to lots of chocolate in it come Christmas morning). And I'm happy to have a little tree in my office.Stuart Graydonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16639962583120874576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791243171523540864.post-81900354452718652422009-12-18T11:36:06.416-05:002009-12-18T11:36:06.416-05:00Dana,

Children make Christmas so much more precious with their excitement and innocence. Just the other week when we were decorating with Zoe and Zara, I realized why Mom and Dad have always said that Christmas when we were children was the most fun! They were so fascinated with everything! I just held Zara and let her touch all the ornaments to her hearts content (and then took them away from her before she could pummel them against the coffee table). I sincerely wish I could spend a Christmas with your family and see all three little faces on Christmas morning! And I LOVE that you are letting the girls start their ornament collections like you and I did later in life. Thanks to that tradition, I had a whole box of special ornaments to open up when I got married! Imagine what they will have to remember dating all the way back to when they were little...<br /><br />G,<br /><br />I am so honored that you read my blog! It is always so neat to make blog friends and meet people with the same interests (like Jim Shore). I hope you come back and visit sometimes. I am looking forward to checking out your blog too!Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478385530320906672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791243171523540864.post-68892799173576194972009-12-18T07:17:23.237-05:002009-12-18T07:17:23.237-05:00Haley

Your Christmas decorations are beautiful, I loved the story about picking out your stockings and your Jim Shore display (which is what brought me to your blog) is very creative. I love how you decorated with books.<br />Merry Christmas and I hope that you and Stuart keep loving each other and growing together.Just ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838850187617297229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791243171523540864.post-32645172682692735722009-12-18T03:15:40.663-05:002009-12-18T03:15:40.663-05:00I love this post Haley! Your home sounds so deligh...I love this post Haley! Your home sounds so delightful and nostalgic. Picking out the Christmas stockings for each other was a cool idea. I picked ours out at Hobby Lobby 5 years ago. The Christmas Travel tree, is an uber cool idea. We just put all our ornaments on our tree, our tree would fit closely in the red-neck category, though there are no beer cans or fishing lures. Our Christmas tree is so special to us because it is full of ornaments that we have bought on all our excursions together. In fact, I went to a Christmas party the other night and we were suppose to do an ornament exchange. Well, there simply wasn't an ornament I could part with so, each one has a unique story that I could tell you. This year, we started letting the girls pick out an ornament at the store so that they could build up their own little collection of ornaments. Christmas is so wonderful!!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505095655722031067noreply@blogger.com
