ETA: I have some new photos up- I have finally found the key to good Christmas tree pics: NO FLASH!
Welcome:

Our main tree is in our foyer this year:

This is the view from the balcony:

And our magnolia garland:


The stockings were all hung by the chimney with care:

Cooper asked for the Mickey Tree to be in his room this year:

Tink:

Handmade Mickey Mouse tree skirt!

And Alexa's frilly, pink girly tree with a tutu tree skirt:

I totally revamped Alexa's tree tonight, it was crooked and a little too empty looking. I took some of my old rhinestone jewelry and used some cards from her first birthday party to make ornaments for the tree:

I used pink ribbon hangers from Martha Stewart's line to hang the ornaments and the tree looks so much better, even if it is still wonky!

The kids have a tree in the playroom which holds all of their hand-made ornaments. For the first time this year, Cooper bought us presents and put them under their tree (so sweet):

And finally, some favorite touches around the house-




This was my grandmother's Christmas Merry Engelbreit tray. I absolutely love her illustrations. If you have not seen her version of "Twas The Night Before Christmas", get thee to Barnes and Noble immediately!

My husband's favorite decoration, the kissing ball:

Holiday Home Tours that Yoga Gal is participating in this year:

ReplyDeleteWow, check out all of those trees!! How pretty. That black and white checked ribbon is what completely caught my eye. The only stairs in my house are the pull down attic stairs (Ladder), suppose I can't decorate that. LOL

I love your decorations! Especially the hand made tree skirt! Did you make it??? Also loving the stockings (I could go on and on about what I like in your home!)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
I love your magnolia swag. It makes a bold statement with the thick shiny leaves next to the softness of the evergreen needles. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home you have! Everything looks so festive and pretty! (I love those butterflies on your daughter's wall- I think I'm going to have to find some of those!!)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Everything looks great. I love the MM tree skirt. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so pretty and festive! I'm jealous of your fresh magnolia. I love the little lantern with the bow...I may have to use that idea! ~Lisa
