Well it is that time of the year again when I (actually Thad) gets down all our Christmas decor and I start to transform our house into a holiday showcase! Last year (our first year in our new house), I didn't really decorate a lot for Christmas, but this year I have got the BUG and I want to do a lot of inside decorating. (The outside is Thad's dept. but I have BIG plans for it too!) So far, I have the tree up and decorated, my village of houses in my hutch (I did have a picture but it was "corrupted?), our stockings hung with care, wreaths on the kids' doors and the big door, a few other decorations and still a few more to go. We have NO presents under the tree yet, but that is nothing out of the ordinary (we procrastinate). I love having a lot of space to decorate but hate the money spent to get started. I know that once I get started then I can put up and reuse every year, but it is the "getting started" par that has been most difficult. (Plus I don't know EXACTLY what i want so I kind of overindulge!) But I have lots still to do to get it where I want it and the calendar is staring at me hardcore! (I think we might leave up Christmas decorations until February!) Anyway here is just is just a little bit of what's been going on at our house and I will post FINALIZED pictures hopefully next week!
Oh and Jack now has BOTH top teeth!!!
Have a great week and weekend!
This is the first ornament I bought when Thad and I started dating in '06. It says "To the world you are just one person, but to one person you could mean the world." I never knew until he proposed (on the 17th of December of '06) and then I married him (a mere 7 months later) that this would ring truer than true.
A red, black and silver tree would never be complete without one of these!
Berk's first Christmas ornament. Look at that wee little baby!!
And her first Christmas footprint!
Her addition to the tree this year: Elmo of course!
Proud of her selection!
My mom had this made last year for us: it is an ostrich egg!
Our first Christmas as husband and wife: my mom also found this one for us!
And my mom got this one made for us too for Berk's first Christmas.
Berk's wreath for her door to her room; she helped make it!
Jack's wreath for his door to his room; Berk helped make it also!
I LOVE these; my four Santa hats (two of which I need finish tonight!)
A vase on our mantle!
Ornaments on some candle holders that Thad and I got on our honeymoon
Stockings hung with care (each has our initials on them)
A candle holder with ornaments that still needs a little work to spruce it up!
And my tree (bad pic with the chairs pulled out, but you get the idea!) I made the topper this year because I wanted something BIG!
