Christmas in the Cabin 2012 - The Butterfly Tree

Hilary used some of her own decorations, hard to see- but there are some really pretty butterflies and peacock feather ornaments in the center and top of the tree.
 
Last week I asked Hilary to help me and get the tree decorated before Thanksgiving, I don't think I have ever put it up before Thanksgiving, but Shelby will be in MN for Christmas and I wanted her to see it. She was so excited to see it when she walked in the house Thanksgiving day. Hilary is very talented and this is the third year she has helped me. It is not a job that I am good at.

Love how it looks when the lights are off. Put it in the dining area this year. We do not have a lot of square footage to put it up, so we thought we would try something different. (hope there is no fires!)

 
Hoping for a white Christmas this year, Tom had to work Thanksgiving day, but has 3 days off at the same time as me for Christmas! This is the 1-2 inches we had a few weeks ago.

 
Shelby and I did some sewing - the girl has grown so much she did not have any PJs that fit her. Here she is in my sewing loft with her friends and her new PJ pants.  <3 p="p">
 
OK - this has nothing to do with the Christmas tree, just a really good picture of rolls I made for a recent Sunday dinner. Pretty hugh?
