Thanks so much and we are honored to have been able to serve. You are so right; service to our nation in the military is a total family effort and sacrifice. Have a great New Year!
Your house is stunning! I love the different themed trees. So beautiful. BTW, how do you get the trees to spin? Glad you are feeling better. Sorry to hear about Allie’s torn ACL. One of my prior poodles tore her ACL a long time ago. The surgery went really well. My Vet also had access to a special therapy pool (heated to 102 to accommodate dogs). A physical therapist holds the dog in the water and it was amazing to watch my dog use her injured leg in a swim motion just a couple of days after her surgery. Wishing you the best and hope to meet you soon (planning to move to TV within the next 6 months). Cindy, Kaelee, and Misty 🐩🐩
Thanks so much for your encouraging comments and your well wishes for Alle! April uses rotating Christmas Tree stands for the rotating effect. So you have been through this with one of your fur babies as well; the pool therapy sounds very interesting, I think we will ask about that. Six months will surely go fast, and we look forward to meeting you when you arrive. Keep us updated and we will see you soon. All the best to you and your fur babies!
So pretty. So many beautifully decorated trees. Wishing you both a very Happy, healthy New Year. Looking forward to seeing your military tree in your lanai next year. One of my favorite holiday traditions begins at Thanksgiving. After we've eaten our Thanksgiving meal and just after dessert is served we have a countdown and turn the Christmas tree lights on and I hand out a small gift to whoever is there (wrapped in Christmas paper). It's a great way to begin the holiday season and everyone is delighted to receive a small gift as well as being part of our tree lighting. It helps to bring a warm, happy holiday spirit to everyone. Take care and I'll say a prayer for Allie for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.
Your home looks beautiful! Such patience to decorate all those trees! So tasteful and well done! Happy New Year and prayers for your adorable fur baby and the surgery.
We are moving down soon where do you store all these trees, ornaments, and decorations? My husband doesn’t want to move a lot of our Christmas decor down south I’m torn lots of memories.
Thanks for your comment and great question. Some items that can withstand the heat we put in the attic over the garage. Ornaments get put into cases and stored with other items on a shelf we installed in our master closet above the existing shelf. Other items get stored in the main linen closet, a cabinet in the laundry room and I will be installing an under ceiling rack in the garage. It is a bit much but it works with minimal disruption. Hope this helps.
They will go in the new rack that we are mounting in the garage. They are way too bulky for inside the house. The racks are very common here and you can buy them from Lowes or Home Depot and they are not difficult to install.
@@aimeedegroot6245 to add to what they said..we have a larger pantry in our tall pine. We used bankers boxes and put ornaments in them ..worked soooo well. Hope to see you soon.🌴😎
Yes they were and we thought we would share them with everyone. It was truly a highlight of our trip and we highly recommend if you are ever in NYC at Christmas Time. Have a Great New Year!
I just happenstance across this video so it’s the first time I’ve watched you. I really enjoyed your house tour, especially each room and your trees! I’m a recent widow and I live in eastern Oregon. I have a son in Ocala, so I’ve been to some part of The Villages every time I visit him. I love your tree in your living room! I finally put up my flocked tree this year and started decorating. All your trees reflect you, which is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your lovely home! You gave me some great ideas!
Hi Shelley, thank you for checking out our video. My sincere condolences to you and your family during this time of grief. Christmas is a great time of reflection and remembering the wonderful memories of our loved ones who have passed. Thank you for your sweet comments with our trees. Christmas is my favorite holiday. After our daughter passed away many years ago, I had a hard time decorating that year, but I did what I could to continue and kept our traditions going. Go over to our Facebook page and put a picture up of your tree. I would love to see it! The next time you come to see your son, we would love to meet you. Happy New Year to you!
Glad you're both feeling better! Beautiful decor! We have a few of the same decorations around our home! Your trees are so beautiful! We have one main Christmas tree filled with our kids' homemade and other personalized, sentimental ornaments through the years (they're all adults now). Prayers for your sweet doggie! Happy New Year!Hope to catch up with y'all sometime when we're there the last two weeks of January! Take care and God bless you! ~ Lisa and Jerry 😊
Thanks so much, and we appreciate the prayers for our little pup! Happy New Year to you guys and we would love to see you when you visit. We will miss you for the Running of the Squares on the 11th. See you soon.
Enjoyed 😊 beautiful home & lovey trees. We were just there for our second visit. Hoping to meet up with you guys on one of our visits for coffee. Moving there in a year or so🎉
Thanks so much and we hope you all had a great visit! We look forward to meeting you both, sharing a cup of coffee and hearing about your journey to The Villages. Have a great New Year and keep us updated.
Thanks so much and that is truly the question! I'll let April do that math. Thanks so much for your well wishes for our pup and we hope you and Lorri have a Great New Year as well. Hope to see you soon.
Gorgeous. I love how so many of the ornaments have meaning to you, and came from a specific time and place. Do you have any Radko? I grew up in Hawaii so that's my favorite tree. Hope your pup is at 100% very soon.
Thanks so much! We don't have any Radko ornaments, I hear they are very nice. Do you have any and if so what is your favorite? Hawaii is truly an enchanting place, even at Christmas. Thanks for your kind wishes for our pup; we will keep you updated. Have a Wonderful New Year!
Thanks so much and we are happy to share. We look forward to seeing your future Villages home decorated as well. Maybe next year we can do a video featuring viewer homes decorated for the holidays; what do you think about that?
Thank you so much, sweet friends! It was a great Christmas even with being sick. Thanks for praying for our sweet Alle. I’ll be glad to see her up and running in the backyard again. Hopefully by mid March she will be able to get around much better. Looking forward to that next race with you!! :) ~A
Thank you for sharing that beautiful home of yours and the phenomenal Christmas trees and also those pictures in New York. I’ll keep your puppy in my prayers. Have a great New Year’s.
Thank you so much for your kind words and keeping our sweet little girl in your prayers. We are looking forward to her being back to a new normalcy in the New Year. ~A
Lovely. Loved the decorations. People have gotten away from calling the “primary bedroom” just that. “Master bedroom” is linked to the south’s version of “Master” in a way that harkens back to the slave days. I just found this out myself.
Thank you both for serving our Country!!! The WHOLE FAMILY SERVES!!!😍🥰.🇺🇸

@@thevillagesnatives3491 yes it helps what about your 3 trees and especially the large new 9ft tree?
They will go in the new rack that we are mounting in the garage. They are way too bulky for inside the house. The racks are very common here and you can buy them from Lowes or Home Depot and they are not difficult to install.
@@thevillagesnatives3491 appreciate your response.

Good to see all the decorations. The burning question I have is How Many Snowmen? LOL HNY and best of luck with Allie’s surgery.
