| 2001 Christmas Tree |
I had some fun going through old Christmas pictures since George and I got married.... SO---today I thought I'd share with you a picture from each Christmas between 2001-2008. Hope you enjoy them!!!!! (When I do this, I always find out how much better photos are now than they were years ago... SO--some of the earlier pictures are not the best quality! Oh Well---hope you like them anyhow. Some will enlarge--and some won't.)
The picture above is our first Christmas tree in 2001... The angel is almost as large as the tree... ha ha.... We were living in our little townhouse in Hendersonville that first year. This little tree now sits on our front porch every Christmas.

| 2002 |
I couldn't find one single picture from our Christmas in 2002.... I know that we bought our new house that Fall---but didn't officially move here until the summer of 2003, when I retired from my job. We visited the new house here alot on weekends ---and I loved to cuddle up near the fireplace!!!!! SO---here's a picture taken sometime that winter.

| First Christmas in our Home ---2003 |
That tiny tree (with its big angel tree-top) looked even smaller in our new Great Room... BUT---we didn't buy the new tree until 2004.... SO---this was Christmas in our new home in 2003... NOTE that there was some snow outside... (We had more snow here during those years than we have had the last several.)
 |
| New Christmas Tree in 2004 |
We got the new tree in 2004----and have used it ever since. You will have to go back and look at the first picture of this tree I posted in Monday's blog post.... There are TONS more ornaments on that tree in 2012... ha (NOTE---there's snow outside!!!)

| 2005 |
Two silly people celebrating Christmas together------Who are those people??????
 |
| 2006 |
Here's the ribbon (and garland) I used to use on the lamppost.... I loved that old ribbon ---but through the years, it turned orange in the sunlight.... SO---since it didn't look like Christmas anymore, we got rid of it. I bought a new one this year--but don't like it nearly as much... (Those are our winter Pansies in that bed. We plant them every year.)
 |
| 2007 |
This was the first year we bought our lighted garland and bows for the deck....
 |
| Another 2007 Purchase |
Also in 2007, we bought our first lighted wreath for the front of the house. (We now have 3 out there.)
 |
| Treetop Angel---2008 |
Lastly, in 2008, I'll show you the angel which sits at the top of our tree --and has --every year since we bought the new tree in 2004.... I like her much better than the big one I used to use on the tiny tree... (The big one now joins the other angels in their area!)
Hope you enjoyed sharing Christmas Pasts with me today!!!! Christmas is just so special to me ---in so many ways! Praise be to God that Jesus Christ was BORN --and that we can celebrate this birth all month!!!!
Because it is December and since there is alot going on, George and I are taking a week off from blogging. Hope you have a fabulous week---and we'll see you on Monday,
December 19. Don't be naughty..... Someone is watching you!!!!!
Hugs,
