Year 2 - Day 355 - December 12

The last Christmas decoration shot - our mantle of snowmen. The left and right snowmen are ceramic and have our college mascot names cut out of their bellies. They have lights inside so that they'll glow, but the power cords don't reach when they're up on the mantle. Mike's parents got them specially made for us somewhere last year. They're super cute!

Day 343 - December 9

I came home from work today and collapsed on the couch.  I didn't have time or energy to be creative, so you're getting a glimpse at the second half of the snowmen of the year collection.  Starting from the left, we have patriotic 4th of July, a swimming snowman for August, Back to school September, Halloween October, Thanksgiving November, and Christmas December.  No surprises in the latter half of the year!

Day 336 - December 2

Several years ago, I got this "Snowman of the Month" set.  I like to decorate with snowmen because I can leave them up for more than 3 weeks.  Here's the first half of the year.  New Years, Cupid, Easter Bunny for March, a raincoat and umbrella for April, a Mom for Mother's Day in May and a golf playing Dad for Father's Day in June.  I haven't had them on display for awhile because I didn't know where to put them.  Mike was intelligent enough to realize that they'd fit nicely on top of the piano.  If you're lucky, I'll remember to take a picture of the second half of the year at some point....
