Really we only have our tree cause our front outside plug doesn't work.

If it stops raining one of these days, I'll take a picture of the train we have that lights up outside (DH bought it for me for Christmas last year)... we can't do lights on the house anymore because we live on a windy hill and they always break! Ugh!!

We did get our outside lights up last weekend. We haven't decorated inside yet.

Kim! That is sooo pretty! I love when there's a light snow on top of the lights! It makes it seem so magical!!!

Here are a few of ours... I haven't had a chance to take very many, and our outside isn't decorated yet (not sure when that will happen as we're expected to get 8-12 inches of snow tonight!) I'll post these for now and then maybe some more over the weekend!

Here's the tree I helped my MIL decorate. She does a different theme/color scheme every year. This year is red and white with snowflakes.

All lit up:

And this is DH's Nutcracker Collection. Every year since he was born he received a Nutcracker from his Grandmother (Now his Mom has carried on the tradition). Although he's only 33 years old, he has 45 Nutcrackers.
The first group:

The Next group (please ignore the wreath that's not centered- it bugs me to no end!):

You should see them now. We probably got 15cm of snow today and it's still falling!

Cris - I used to collect nutcrackers too! Only I stopped when I ran out of room to store/display them. Shaun's are very nice.

Can you even see your lights anymore Kim? LOL... I have been trying to get outside to put ours up, but it's either been way too cold, raining/sleeting or snowing!

I'm worried that we're not going to have any more room for any more nutcrakers in a few years! If that happens, I'm going to be "donating" them back to my In-laws house!

I don't have a good pic of our outside lights yet---but here's our tree. Excuse the messy tree skirt, our dog sleeps under the tree and he is always messing it up!

snsgirl336 · #12 December 13th, 2008, 09:29 AM

Your tree is so pretty! I love the Santa at the top!

It finally stopped raining so now everything is covered in snow all of a sudden!

Here's a picture of our tree lit:

All we decorated outside this year was a few bushes and put out my train (Christmas present from DH last year). Everything's snow covered, so the lights don't shine too bright!

A close up of the train and you can see our tree through the front window (Sorry for the blurriness but it was really dark!):
