One Tree Down...

We drove up to my mom's house today, picking up my grandma on the way, for a little tree-decorating/pre-birthday extravaganza.  I did most of the decorating (and Mom did most of the cooking), but I think my grandma enjoyed unwrapping the ornaments and admiring them on the tree.  We had her watching Harry Potter too!  She'll be eighty-eight next Saturday!

Here's a shot of my mom's mantel. 

I'm enjoying this little photo advent calendar.  Keeps Christmas in my mind everywhere I go, because I'm always on the lookout for a holiday photo op!
Now I just need to get my own tree up and decorated!
