Blossom and Bob-the-dog trim the tree....

Yesterday was the day Blossom trimmed our tree, along with her fluffy helper, Bob-the-dog....

Tradition in our house is to watch Christmas movies while the decorations are placed through the house, so a double screening of "Christmas with the Kranks" and "Elf" ensued, while Blossom sorted through tinsel, baubles, and lights.

Various Christmas items were sat on shelving and hung on walls...

...even Bob-the-dog was dressed for the fun.

Don't you love my reindeer coffee mugs!? I sipped cappucinno from one while Blossom prettied the tree.

I am being a good girl and continuing to rest my hand and shoulder today, but praying tomorrow will be the day to baste Blossom's quilt.

Happy Advent!
hugs

Sweetie, Bob is absolutely adorable, I could bring him home and just snuggle him to bits. Really pleased to hear that you are resting your shoulder and arm. Don't panic about Blossom's quilt, you WILL get it finished I am absolutely positive.
Tell Blossom her decorating skills are top knotch, the tree looks fabulous.

Too Sweet! Your helpers did an incredible job. There are so many handcrafted pretties to look at. Take your time basting that quilt. If you must get started on it, just do a little at a time. Don't push. -karen

You look very festive there, thanks for sharing. Love that fabric the potholders are made from. Reminds me of my Barbie doll, where ever did you get it.

love the Christmas decorating Jenny...I'm doing mine tonight and then plan to finally do a post tomorrow!!!! Boy oh boy, where does the time go??? Your Bob and my Ralph could almost be twins, except Ralph is in dire need of a haircut so he's booked in tomorrow at the beauty parlour for 'the works'!!! I pray that your hand and shoulder feels much relief very soon.
big sugary hugs Wendy :O)
