Brett & I had a GREAT time getting our house ready for Christmas. Mom & Dad gave us their old Christmas tree that we put up in our closed-in front porch which we call our 'Ohio State Room'. So Brett had the idea to have an Ohio State tree. I like his style! ;) After one of our daily Walmart runs we came back with a whole assortment of red & silver decorations for the tree, new lights and all sorts of other things. We had such a great time decorating the house.
A family friend of the Ripley's, Linda Hill, has given Brett an authentic Santa Clause each year since he was born. I had heard so much about this Santa collection & although I didn't know much about it, I wanted to make it special for him when they came out of storage. I was at Michael's one day & found this great garland for the mantle & white lights (my favorite Christmas combination). When he got those guys out & we started putting everything together, I couldn't believe how beautiful it looked. Linda was so excited when I posted pictures on facebook because #1 she hadn't seen all those Santas together in years, but also was happy to see that the Santas meant as much to as as they did to her. What a fun Christmas tradition! :)
