Our Christmas Trees!

I know it's been a long time of waiting for these pictures, but I've finally uploaded pictures of our Christmas trees!! It was a depressing day in the Nolte house when the trees finally all came down. (And, to clarify, it was just this past weekend!)

I just really enjoyed the evenings when we'd really only have the tree as our light when we'd watch TV or something, and it filled the room! It was so pretty :)  But, not to worry, in ten months, we (and by "we" I mean Matt) will be pulling all of the trees down from the garage so we (here, "we" = me!) can get them decorated for the next Christmas season!! I can hardly wait! haha. Actually, as much as I love Christmas, I can wait, because I'd hate to rush through the year and miss summer & everything!!

On a different note, all of this snow makes me even more reminiscent of Christmas! I always love the rare occasions when we actually have a White Christmas!

Enjoy this snow day!! I know I am!!

Our Christmas decorations!

So WHAT if it is now a month after Christmas....I'm going to share pictures of our Christmas decorations if it's the last thing I do!  Even with all of the days off this week, I feel like I just haven't stopped doing something....even if I was just cleaning up around the house! So, I'm finally getting around to not only putting the pictures ON my camera, but taking the time to upload them here, as well.

And don't you think for one second this is my last Christmas post!
You know you want to see all of our trees!!!
That'll come within the next couple of days!!

Bevell's Hardware Train Display

A couple of week's ago, I went with Mom, Abby, Papa and Joyce to Bevell's Hardware Store in Blackstone.  The owner sets up this HUGE train display that is just so amazing to look at!  We walked around two or three times, and I'm SURE we still missed seeing some details!  I loved the circus/carnival/theme park area he had set up, but my absolute FAVORITE part was the Disneyworld display!!!! It was so awesome!!  And, those two roller coasters you see set up, they actually went around! So neat! We figured one was the Rebel Yell from Kings Dominion, and the other was Alpengeist from Busch Gardens. 

I hope these pictures will show you that it's definitely worth the hour and a half drive {from Richmond} to go and see the set up, but you really have to go see it for yourself!!  I was SO upset that I forgot my camera at home, but will for sure be going back, especially so Matt can see, and I will be sure to remember my camera then!
