Around Home at Christmas 🎄 20

We love the cozy feel of our home at Christmas.
I prefer the house lit up at night with the glow of white Christmas lights.  
When I look back at pictures, it might not be magazine worthy 
but it sure is full of tradition.
Original stockings since we were married and added with each boy,
my mom's Christmas tree complete with her and my dad's first ornament,
our first ornament given to us by Grandma Jean,
a new and meaningful ornament given to each boy for the year,
a few of my special ornaments ( I have them all)
and around the mantle built by Dan and his dad from barn wood from the Graber farm.
This year I added the lantern from Polly's service and the metal trees from Jean and Shannon.

Due to COVID I was working at home most days - so we had a spirit week
to send photos in - fun memories - only 1/2 my tree was working!

We have a lot of PU Fans at work - I risked my life borrowing one of Sam's sweatshirts for a picture!

Cousin Mindy came over and brought his beautiful arrangement, said she needed help with a bow - instead she wanted to give this to me!  How very special.  I had the perfect spot for it!

And I had to gift the great-grands this super cute tees!  Love them!
