Our little tree! Our home is 880 square feet, so long gone are the days of big trees! Austin actually laughed out loud when he came in and looked way down at this little guy! But I loved it. I have loved the opportunity to simplify Christmas. All our stuff is in Ecuador, so the last three Christmas celebrations have been easy to decorate for. I have decided I much prefer it, and will probably get rid of most of what I have in Ecuador!
I just enjoy that it takes about one hour to put stuff out, and about that to take it down!
Here it is...all the trimmings for the tree! See what I mean?! Maybe you could experiment with simplifying Christmas. There are many places that could put your extra ornaments and decorations to good use. I know that I have a friend who helps in a ministry to women and they have homes that they try to decorate for Christmas for these women, and their children, most of whom are trying to get a second chance in life. Just an idea!
I wanted this to be a separate blog. Oh well! I am still learning. These next pictures are for Brian Morrish! This was a great miniature train village out at the Living Desert. The detail was truly amazing. Since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with trains like this. It was fun to hear that Brian and his dad love trains too. So I thought of him as I walked around this train village with my friend Janice. It was great fun. Brian is an engineer (and for those of you not in the loop, Brian is Natalie's fiancee), so I took these bridge pictures because the detail seemed incredible.
This is just for the family! Look kids, our favorite place!!!! Ha Ha Ha! Can you say tornado watch!
Check out the sleeping leopards! Just by the fence in the middle of the picture by the tumble weed.
Sunsets, need I say more!
The eastern sky, reflecting the sunset was almost as beautiful!
Sunrise! I watched it each morning off my balcony, or from a chair in my room! It was quite cold in Palm Desert.
One last random train scene! Sorry about that!
The new Christmas angel!
