Christmas Decor at Cottontail Lane

Well, we are at the new house and

 I decided to take a break 

and hang up the Christmas Wreath

that I made,

 or should I say, put together,

 2  Christmas' ago. 

It was a fun memory.

It was our first Christmas 

here in Colorado, 

My Daughter in law, her Friend and

 I went to Hobby Lobby 

and picked out fun things

 to decorate our wreaths with.

Then we went over to my house, 

pulled out the glue guns

 and got Started.

Here is how mine looked.

Bright colors, Chihuahuas and 

little "yarn balls" on the ribbon.

I Loved it!

Well, sadly to say it did not 

survive the move to Cottontail.

One of my porcelain Chihuahuas broke.

So I headed to Hobby Lobby 

to find one to replace it but,

Couldn't find another one.

I decided to get this cute set of "knit" mittens,

in bright colors to add to the wreath. 

I think it looks great.

Come on in our new Home.

The wreath on the Door, I also made,

But in more traditional colors.

Puppy Stockings are hung, 

Wreath's are hung, 

and the poinsettias are out.

OH NO!

 Is that Nacho,

Christmas Chihuahua Elf?

Wonder what mischief

he will get into?

Maximo and Rosie Bell Have moved up In the world!

I haven't posted in over a week..

that is because we moved.

We still live in the same town,

We moved about 4 miles up the Hill.

We now have a gorgeous view of 

Pikes Peak off our deck.

We also see lots of deer every day.

I am looking forward to seeing our place 

all covered in snow.

Maximo and Rosie Bell 

Seem to have settled in nicely.

This is my office space in the New house,

with a view of  Pikes Peak and 

gorgeous sun rises.

I still have lots of boxes to unpack,

But I think we are all 

going to like it here.
