My favorite daughter, Mia, (P.S. Mia has access to my site!), came to visit for Thanksgiving and life is a whirlwind while she is in town. We had fun and she helped me so much, too. At 10 PM she would say, "Let's decorate a tree!" Gradually we got out almost every decoration. It was fun to do it with her and I wanted it to be special this year because over 60 Binghams are coming to my house for the Bingham Family Christmas this Sunday. These pictures don't capture how pretty everything looks. This red tree is my favorite and is located downstairs in our big family room. I have to go down and look at it every day and drink in the RED!
There is just something special about red. This is a huge real poinsettia that one of my teachers gave me and when I come through the front door, it just grabs me. 
This is the first year that it will just be Michael and I hanging our stockings. Because everyone knows that when you get married, you become each other's Santa.
Michael only put up half of our great room tree (the top two sections), put it on an end table and we doubled-loaded it with ornaments! Thanks to Carly's wedding, we were able to add some beautiful reminders of her reception one year ago on December 26th.
This front room tree shows out the front window and has some of the ornaments on it that Michael and I handmade 36 years ago for our first tree.
Micah gave us the idea for our house lights. Each corner, gable, and angle along the roof has two greens, a red, two greens=a holly berry!!Coming soon...."The Bingham Family Christmas"
