I wanted to give you a little glimpse at their decorations because I thought they were so pretty. Until my parents died, we had always spent Christmas at their home so it has been many years since I had seen Johnny and Gay's decorations.
While it is very pretty, I think it would quite economical time wise to decorate as they do especially as we get older. It is taking me longer and longer to get all the decorating done. We have collected so many ornaments over the years--and they are ALL so meaningful but maybe.....just maybe I will go the route Gay has gone with her decorating.........paring down....making it a little more simple.
Here is a picture of their tree--so simple yet so gorgeous--it is an artificial tree with white lights, grape vine wrapped around it, red berries and red birds, mainly cardinals. It really is stunning and I love the grape vine wreath because it adds an element of "country."
This is Abby Grace, my two year old great niece.
These are four out of five of my brother's grandchildren--Cooper, Abby, Peyton and Aimsley. Turner is not pictured.
Just to the right of the tree is a table behind one of their sofas. Gay uses the same vase all year long, just changing the floral arrangement with each season.
I also wanted you to see the mantel--so simple but so pretty--
