I told you that I did the best I could with the holiday decorations and I knew Molly's mom would come and modify and enhance everything. She arrived yesterday around 2:30pm and by the time I got home at 5:30pm she was almost done with the changes. I didn't take pics but here's what she did:
- Enhanced my dining table centerpiece with two candles in candle holders that she brought.
- Totally removed the garland I had above the fireplace and replaced it with lighted garland she brought that has fake fruit in it and bows on the ends.
- Removed half the snowmen from the collection display and interspersed them with the garland on the mantle.
- Added about 50 presents to the pile under the tree.
- Added a nutcracker and numerous candles, candle holders, door knob covers, and various hanging things around the first floor.
- Put Christmas cookies on my snowman platter (6 different kinds).
- Prepared the garland that I had on the mantle to be strung along the staircase complete with bows she brought from home (project for today).
- Set up her iPod and speakers to play a special 3.5hr holiday play list on loop.
- Added her and Molly's dad's stockings to the mantle complete with their own stocking hangers.
Coming up next... the before and after of the kids' bedrooms. Painter is coming the 29th and 31st.
