It's finally time for my Christmas decorations post!!! I love Christmas and I love Christmas decorations! I've mentioned it before, but DJ and I were given a Christmas-theme wedding shower and so many of my decorations came from our shower and I've picked up a few pieces through the years, and I just love this time of year!
It took the girls and I an entire day to decorate the house and another evening to put our tree up as a family. Every day we come home and we get to soak in all of our hard work and I just love looking at our lights.
Before we get started, here are a few more pictures of our elf:
Hanging out in the tree.
The girls made paper ornaments one morning, and our elf took them back to Santa that night. The next day our elf was found with a letter from Santa thanking the girls for the ornaments.
I have frames, Santa's, and our Christmas card basket on an end table in our living room. The album was a gift from our Wedding shower and it holds many of our pictures from our first few Christmas' together. Now, I make albums in Shutterfly and we have the books in our living room.
On this table I placed more of my wooden decorations. The three wooden Santa's and the smaller one were given to me by my mom. The "snow" set was given to me at a shower and I bought the "Noel" sign when we lived in Indiana from a little Christmas store at the mall.

I have a framed picture of the girls visit to Santa and another Santa figure with a few coasters on our DVD stand.
I decorated our mantle with holly bushes, garland, burlap ribbon and red feather picks. We have snowflake ornament holders that I purchased at Hobby Lobby, and our stockings came from Lillian Vernon. I do finally have Adalyn's stocking; I just took this picture before we had it!
Gretchen really wanted the banister decorated this year, so this is what I came up with.
Our nativity is in the entry way along with a few framed pictures.
In our kitchen, I have a nativity light and a Santa face. The nativity light was given to me at our Christmas-theme shower, and I bought the Santa face in Monroe, La at Paul Michaels.
I decided to decorate the chandelier in the kitchen with garland, red beads, and ornaments.
We have a tiny antique sewing stand with a butcher block top in the kitchen, and I placed all of my gingerbread men decorations, along with our Santa advent.

I set a few platters on top of the kitchen cabinets.
Added a cheese block, cookie jar, and spoon rest near the stove.
We have the Spode dinnerware collection that we use every December. I take down all of our plates and dishes out of the cabinets and replace it with our Spode. I also have the cups and a few baking pieces, and we use those throughout the month.
This year, I decided to not use our angel as a tree topper and I am so glad that I changed it up! I used some holly, pearls, feathers, and glittering picks stuffed in the top.
Here's our entire tree.
Our ornaments are a mix of what we were given at our wedding shower, a few that we've picked up on travels, several that my mom has bought the girls, and a few handmade ones that the girls have completed at school. I love that it's a hodge podge of so many memories.
