villages up!

i remember going to my grandpa and grandma pool's house and i would lay by their christmas trees (they used to do 3). i loved looking at how they decorated with christmas villages under their tree. my sisters and i would imagine ourselves living in the little towns and living in the homes. when i was younger, i wanted to have a village. grandpa birrell even came over one year and helped us.

today, paul and i took a couple hours and put our villages up under the tree. i didn't put up any of the offices/stores because i just wanted a countryside look. keep it simple. in fact, when i thought about what i wanted it to look like, tennessee immediately came to mind. i wanted some rolling hills, a few farm houses. well, it didn't exactly turn out like scott and becky's home. for one, there are too many houses and another, i don't have a house that looks like theirs.
