Still thinking about posting the kids holiday photos because I am not sure who reads this blog and while I think family and friends do not...I will never know. Also not wanting to spoil their card if someone does see this early I will hold off posting. I also think that creepy people steal photos from the net and I do not want to be a tool for that! So below are some photos from the tree decorating process that we undertook the next day after Thanksgiving with faces hidden just enough to get you in the mood for the Christmas Season and remind you of the little ones that shared the season with you at one time. My son-in-law made it clear I was NOT to post these photos on FB with his bed head...LOL. This guy is model handsome and needs to get a grip!
The youngest is going to be a rock star...! Do you remember those times (if you celebrated Christmas) when you would study those ornaments as if never having seen them before or as if we had found touchstones to a life long ago?
This little pumpkin above had her hair done for the Christmas card photos the day before this was taken, so her "bed head" is somewhat tamed in this photo!
And the eldest who is so close to my heart.
Great pictures of a magical time--trimming the tree. Love the little one in shades, future so bright and all.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice pictures to start the the holidays. Memories are made of these special times.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeletedecorating the tree was always my favorite. when I was a kid and life was still happy and magical, I would get up after everyone was asleep and turn the lights on the tree on and just sit there in the dark looking at it. I moved away from religion and ritual early in my life as an adult and have not done a tree myself since then but I still love the ornaments. I have a few keepsakes from my parents collection of long ago.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a little bedhead sometimes? Your SIL needs to learn to laugh at himself once in a while. It makes life much more fun. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet pictures. :)
A happy, tree decorating kind of morning!
ReplyDeletePhotos of kids. I'm still naieve and stick pictures up online. I probably shouldn't. Kay, who writes here on Musings, blurs the face of her grandkids. Perhaps she is the one who is right.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. That first one looks like an illustration.
ReplyDeletesmiles...looks like they had fun...we put up our tree before thanksgiving... and our boys love to hear the stories of the ornaments....when we got them...how old they were...ha
ReplyDeleteThey all so love to help decorate the tree! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. You provided the mood without splashing sweet young faces out there for whoever might be looking. I'm right there with you on the caution. I very rarely post photos of my grandkids for the very same reason you hesitate.
ReplyDeleteAnd the funny thing is, the people (family) who would be most interested rarely read my blog anyway! :)
The photos are lovely, I'm guessing the family think so, too. I love decorating the Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! For several years I've mostly decorated our tree by myself. My kids will reluctantly help, but they wouldn't mind if we didn't put one up at all. Or so they say. I look forward to grandkids!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you were making new memories as you shared past memories represented in those ornaments.
ReplyDeleteIf I manage to get down the Christmas ornaments, I handled them much like your small grandson, discovering treasure.
ReplyDeleteLove each of the photos.
My heart just melted looking at these pictures. I was thinking what beautiful hair on your grand daughter when you mentioned that. The one studying the ornament is sweet and the oldest reminds me of the boy in The Polar Express.
ReplyDeleteYou also made me think twice about the pics I have been posting of great nieces and nephews and then I remembered - most of the ones I post; I have pulled from their facebook.
We worry too much about photos on blogs.
ReplyDeleteNice.....
ReplyDeleteAll accompanied by suitable Christmas music?
ReplyDeleteRYN: Not just sitting. LOL I was leaning over the arm of the chair, then I lent further, and harder, and pop. Yes, I feel the fool. Yes, if I drop something, I shall get up and pick it up. Tylenol does little, Aleve really helps but is addictive and bad for us. I have one more present to wrap....from a sitting position.
ReplyDeleteYou disguised these just enough but not too much to get the idea and mood of the day. That red hair looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove all pictures, principally the "youngest is going to be a rock star...!"
ReplyDeleteClassic shots! And love the pop art effect in the first one.
