Christmas Decorations


We finally have our house decorated for Christmas.  I just love our tree.  Its quite large, but beautiful.  We ordered it from Balsam Hill our first year in Wilmington.  I have to say, we have not replaced a bulb yet.  That's pretty good I think.  The majority of our ornaments are Hallmark.  


A few years back I started an ornament series, Once Upon A ChristmasThey are a little pricey, but I love them. We also have a couple of Christmas Vacation ornaments that BK's mom got him for Christmas. 


Also thrown into the mix we have Lenox and Waterford.



I do love our tree!
As for our mantel, I have it decorated with Pottery Barn  garland and wreath.  My reindeer stocking holder are from Target and Home GoodsOur stockings we made ourselves.  Brian and I got our Bucilla stocking kit our first year together.  My Mom and I made Vivian's this year.  Poor Brody got his stocking from Lowe's.  I've thought about making one for him in the past, but after Vivian's I decided his will remain the odd ball.

I have candy bowl's on our coffee table which can be dangerous.  Christmas M&M's and Hershey Kisses.  They taste better when they are all decked out in Christmas colors...don't you?
For the sofa tables I have our Steinbach Nutcrackers that B's Dad got me for Christmas.  I love them.  I also did Mistletoes project of Vivian's feet.  That was slightly difficult to do alone, but we managed.  I put a little too much paint on her feet so it looks a little fatter than they should be.  Oh well, I still think its cute!
On our other sofa table I have B's puzzle of Charlie Brown that he did and our Waterford nativity scene


Our side table I have a snow globe and Charlie Brown Christmas plate.
Mommy's little helper.

In our dining room I set out on four place setting of our Christmas china instead of six.  My parents are coming this year and it will only be the four of us.  That  I would keep the other sets boxed up.



For the kitchen and breakfast nook, I have a little nick-nacks.  You have to have Snoopy hanging out!




And for the outside we have our icicles and Frosty.


I hope everyone has their houses all decorated.  Now, I just need to wrap a few gifts and everything will be complete :)
