Christmas Time Is Here....



Heyers! Merry Christmas!

This weekend, my family and I put up the rest of the Christmas decorations, and I wanted to show them to you! 

 Last week, I put up my new pink tree in my room while listening to a Walton's Christmas CD. (You can see my past post about the Walton's here) It has become my favorite!

 Here's a picture of the tree in my room:

It's pink with a pink tutu! (not shown) Mrs Mildred (a fellow blogger) gave me these ornaments. :)

Thank you, Mrs Mildred!

Here's a picture of our Christmas Wreath! (Sorry about the yellowness. :P)

 My Dollies put up a Christmas Tree! :) From left to right, Violet, Rebecca, Millie, Elsie, and Itty. :)

And the COOLEST THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY. :) It started SNOOOOOWING!!!!! :) Sadly, it didn't stay. :(

Well, when we got home, I made some Christmas cookies with some cutters and mix I got for my birthday. Thank You, Mrs Debbie. :)

Next is my Christmas Village! It  is on top of the piano and it's SO pretty! Thank you again, Mrs Mildred.  The pics I took without flash are REALLY blurry, so I took one with flash so you can see the details.

Here are some other miscellaneous pictures. :)

Outdoor Nativity.

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:

Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause. it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

                                                    

Happy 4th of July!
