Holiday Spirit


I love seeing all the Holidays posts this week on all your blogs! It makes me so happy to see everyone in the spirit and I adore looking at all your gorgeous decorations. I'm quite proud of our tree, mantle and front door decor this year and had to show them off!

First, let's do a quick Christmas tree timeline of the setup.


Once the lights and ribbon were on, the little man helped us decorate!



And knock on wood, but the girls have yet to knock down the tree yet this year.


Our nativity set is from Derek's side and despite one missing cow horn, the porcelain set is in pretty good shape!


For the front door this year I added a bunch more garland and our fake poinsettia always adds a nice touch of color with all the dying mums greenery and lights. And the I'm loving the wood star on our living room mirror and the accents on the mantel. Now I just need an eggnog martini and I'm golden!


More to come on Jolly the Elf and how Drew is enjoying our new tradition!

  3. Your house looks great! I love the ribbon on the tree. I've been doing beads for like 8 years and I'm getting tired of them...may move to ribbon next year. How many inches wide is your ribbon? I'm assuming it's wired? Also- fabulous pictures of the dogs with the tree!! I'm still trying to figure out how to get decent pictures of the tree/lights/whatever...dSLRs can be really frustrating sometimes!!
