It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I participated in the Christmas Ornament Swap over at Abbily Ever After again this year and Chris over at Ms Cellania sent me two magnificent ornaments!

The little propeller really spins!

My heart has a soft spot for snowmen. Both ornaments are made of metal and I absolutely love them! They were accompanied by the cutest card!

While decorating the tree, I did learn one thing to never say when your three young adult sons are in the room. I was nearly finished when I said to my husband, “Later you can hide the pickle.”

I promise to show you photos of baby Cole soon, he is growing so much and is simply precious! It's hard to believe that sometime this month I will be a grandma for the third time! My granddaughter is due to enter the world on Christmas Day but we think she will come early, maybe on her Uncle Mikal's birthday (Dec 16th).

    Those ornaments are great! I laughed as soon as I read the pickle story because I knew what they were going to say. :)

    Okay.
    I googled it.
    At least now I know what Christmas pickles are all about!!!Widely spread in America, but practicly unknown in Germany.
    At least I don't feel so stupid anymore now that I know that! Another great tradition, I love learning about those!

    Those ornaments look great!

    I like snow people too and decorate for winter so they last until March. Funny pickle story. Boys really don't grow up. December 16th is my brothers birthday, and Emma's from A Question of Sanity and she doesn't live far from here either. Which reminds me we are going for a blogger supper on the 17th (you are welcome to join;-)) so I might just have to get her a card or something.

    I burst out laughing about the pickle - but not just because it was funny... because I had never know of this tradition until my lawyer-boss (the one in Ohio I still work for even though I'm in Missouri) told me about it!
