T stands for Tea and Trees

Hello and Happy Tuesday! This picture sums up what is making me happy most days. Some quiet time with advent reading and tea by the lights. I sit for a little before bed too, love these moments. Sharing this for the Tuesday group at Elizabeth's where we share our beverage or cup and what's new.
I got the first week of December in my PL done. YAY! I had fun with this page, the left doesn't have much journaling but for now I'm leaving it till I decide how I want to do the journaling. I have started my December Daily album too, see those pages in the post below.
My mom and I went to my sister's and helped her decorate. This will be her first Christmas at this house, YAY! Excited for her and everything came out so pretty.
I love how the mantel came out, so pretty! My mom thought of the ribbon and stockings idea, turned out so darn cute. I love mini stockings and mini trees and everything mini.
LOVE THE RED!!
If you look closely you will see her new roommate, Flynn!! A little furball of 6 months, he's very shy still so this was the best I could get of him. Think he was a little freaked out by all the decorations and noise we were making. Annie has always wanted her own cat and now she has one, so happy for her. Can't wait to see if he gets into the decorations or the tree, lol.
I forgot to post this below the one above so you could see better. I like the tea time card I made.
All that decorating at my sisters made me ready to start on our house now. For over a week I just enjoyed the tree with lights only, the kids have asked to decorate it finally,lol. The boxes are pulled out and little bits of Christmas are popping up in all the rooms now.
 
Thank you for visiting and your comments, they make my day. I do babysit today so will be by tonight and tomorrow to see what your up too. Oh, I found something special to share with you soon on T Day, can't wait.  Till then enjoy your beverage and your Tuesday.
Remember you can see my December page below if you want to see.

  3. I'm not sure who will enjoy this Christmas more: you, the kids, or Annie, with her new "live in." It's great that you, your mom, and sis could get together to decorate her new home. That's what memories are made of.

    That first photo really DOES look like a Christmas card, I really does in the PL book. Good eye.

    Thanks for joining for T this Tuesday, and I'm off to see your December entry.

  5. Love your Tea Time card, and the opening photo is truly awesome! I miss having a real tree, but the daughter is allergic so we want to avoid an asthma attack! and not having needles shedding is pretty ok too... :) great job on your sis' mantle, beautiful nativity scene. Had to grin because seeing your progress with PL finally got me to get my October photos into my album!! Still need to do the journaling, but got them all into the book in one evening (after much sorting & corner clipping) Your pages are sweet...great idea to photo the table settings...love it all! Have a great week dear, happy T day!
