My Christmas Porch 2013

 I hope everyone has all their shopping done and are ready for Christmas. No? Oh well, me neither. lol

I wanted to take a minute to share my new porch all decorated for Christmas. We are really enjoying sitting out on our porch when it is warm enough.

I am a little late sharing this because I was just too wimpy to get out in the cold weather and decorate. We really had a cold spell for awhile, but it has really been pretty here in east Texas the last few days so I finally got it done.

There is such a mess in the rest of the house with renovations going on that the porch is the only thing I had to share this year. 

A word of warning, I believe I am sharing more pictures than I have ever done before. So without further ado here is my Christmas porch.

The mesh garland was made for me by the sweet ladies at New Beginnings, a local gift and flower shop. I also purchased the ornaments, snowmen, and elf there.

My nutcrackers, which I'm totally in love with, came from Dollar General along with my candles and a couple of other items.

My daughter says they creep her out. She says its 

the teeth. :-)

Don't you love my husband's antique railroad lights? They work on kerosene and are very pretty lit up with my Christmas lights.

Without the lights around the garland.

With the garland lights on it is very bright you could read a book.

The joy and awe on my grandson's face made all the work worth while. Isn't that why we as parents and grandparents do everything we do at Christmas?

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone. Be safe. Be happy.

Hugs,
