O Christmas Tree

Finally, the tree is up AND decorated! Come on in and have a look...
Naturally, our tree is decorated in western style with a mix of ornaments featuring our animals.

No tree is complete without at least one cowgirl ornament....








And this cowboy Santa with his Christmas foal is so sweet!












Had to add Lee's "Gunny Claus" ornament... (he's a retired Marine Gunnery Sgt)

This ornament is made from an original oil painting of our bunnies. Charlotte, of CharlottesWebArt created this masterpiece!



This is Sandie. She's been gone for a few years now, but is still with us in spirit! She lived a good long life, nearly 16 years...




Happy Holidays everyone!

Lovely tree with its western theme. Grew up in Montana. I just got my tree up today too. Mine has no theme, just ornaments collected over the years.
Lots to celebrate this year. My novel was finally published! Cowgirl Dreams (based on my grandma who rode in MT rodeos during the 1920s).
Merry Christmas!

Great tree! My mom did a western tree this year, it was so cute. I didn't do a tree because I was housesitting up until yesterday. I just have an old ceramic one w/the red bird lights on it that someone gave me from a garage sale (it reminds me of something my grandma would have!)
