Oh Christmas Tree!
Thank you for our great ornaments! We put them on our tree as soon as we got it up. They were the first ones and only ones on it for about a week! Thank you!
The bells are hung by the doorway with care, in hopes that St Nicholas soon will come here.......and buy our New Mexico house and pay of our student loans and get us a house here.....I am glad G'ma made our stockings stretchy! Thanks for the bells, Dad. We LOVE them!
These letters mom gave to me a while ago and I love them. We hung them on the wall last year but I like them on this shelf better I think. There are some other trinkets on this shelf too......limited apt space.....I am decorating still mom.
Here is a little guy from Germany that Walt brought back. You put insense in the middle of him and when you light it the smoke comes out of his mouth and he looks like he is smoking. Cute. For the record, all insense stinks.
More from Germany. The little windmill turns around on it's own when you light the candles underneath it. Cody literally spent DAYS gathering the right materials and fixing it so it would spin. It is pretty cool but the effort that went into it is cooler. Nutcracker, also authentic Germany.
I got this lantern at Ikea. I really love it. I think mom bought it for me- I know she was with me which leads me to believe she is the one that bought it......sounds about right. Thanks mom!
Cody got the whole Willow Tree Nativity set for me for our first Christmas. It is definately the thing I look the most forward to setting up each year. I just LOVE it! It is so beautiful! This picture doesn't do it justice!
Here is a closer look at Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. I love how tender Joseph looks.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. I loved staying at your place over Thanksgiving, I wish we could come over and experience Christmas time with you too, but this helps.
I think all your things from Germany are so cool. And I also love the willow tree navity.
