The Relle Clan decorated minimal like usual with our holiday travels but have decided that we are going to add to our collection this year since we did host the 6th annual Christmas at the Clampetts and the only holiday dish I had was a snowflake plate Angela gave me cookies on years ago at a team gift exchange. We have a few more things but for smaller crowds. Here is a tour of our Clanpetts Decorations:

The tree might be fake but the love of decorating, the beautifully wrapped gifts (Thanks to the PTA) underneath excite us all, and my favorite the yearly picture frame ornaments continue to grow in collection.

The mantle with the stockings hung and holiday cards from those that are near and far from us...

The great buy wreath from Home Goods last year that we can not get to hang on either front door....anyone that can manage this will be The
Relle Clan Christmas Miracle....pretty sure that if the finger
injuring magnet from The Container Store didn't work...NOTHING will. :(

Our Holiday Collection that has given us many hours of family,
Christmas fun!
IKEA balls hanging from the tree and snowflakes from Papa lining the flower beds....only thing missing is THE WREATH!

Our neighbors decorations. ;) A bit sad the house at the end of the street that goes all out didn't participate this year...made it hard for people from "the city" to locate our street for the
Clampetts party.

Karen found this super cute Advent Calendar at Costco and bought one for Jack. We didn't do it this year but I can't wait til next year...he is going to LOVE it.

Every day there is a drawer to open that has a piece of candy in it (don't worry-I'll refill the candy next year...won't make him eat year old candy).

And on the 24
th day the roof lifts up and there is a candy Santa in the chimney....too cute! Thanks Karen!
We've already started adding to the collection for next year. Nick just LOVES it-bill wise and clutter wise. :) Can't wait til then...until then looking forward to a FABULOUS 2010!
