Christmas at the Turner's

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Christmas.  It is my most favourite time of the year but this year I was having a difficult time getting into wanting to decorate.  We had the privilege of visiting the Lougheed House this past weekend to take in the "Days of Christmas"  I didn't need any more convincing to start my decorating after that.  This amazing house was decorated in many different ways and some of it was breathtaking.  We decided as a family that this year we would decorate "old-fashioned" like.  We used ribbon, handmade paper chains, homemade roses, sheets of music inked by us just to name a few.  It was fun and the result beautiful.  We also brought boughs of pine inside to add to the rustic feel and smell inside.  I think this has been the best Christmas decorating we have done so far ever and all of us just love how our house has transformed into days of past.  Here is a picture of our tree for you to enjoy and although it is hard to tell in the picture our tree is chocolate brown!
