Deck The Halls

I've been posting some of my Christmas decor on instagram but I hadn't gotten out my "real" camera until last night. I snapped several pictures of my tree and decorations and I just thought I would share. 

This was my first year to do a "fancy" tree with mesh, ribbon, glittery accents, as well as a non traditional tree topper. All I have to say is...I LOVE IT. It's so "me" and I really think it's just so fun and festive. Perfect for our family.

Our tree topper this year...simple, southern, and a little sassy with the glittery picks behind the monogram. Perfection. 

An assortment of ornaments. They are all so special to us as a family. 

The top of my buffet is serving as somewhat of a mantle since we don't have a fireplace. I love how it turned out. Elegant and classic. The candlesticks were goodwill finds that got dressed up with some spray paint.



 This is the view from our staircase. So pretty at night.

These little trees were a black Friday find last year and I love them SO much! You see this wall from a distance when you walk in. 

My grandmother painted this happy little guy for me years ago. He is now camped out in my guest bathroom. Emma Clarie LOVES him and squeals and waves to him each time she sees him. 

And of course the most important thing to remember this time of year...

I have more decorating to do but this is the slowest I have ever been at decorating. I think it might have to do with a certain little lady that requires every bit of my attention. ;-) I hope to get my china cabinet decorated soon, as well as a few other little things. I have one more tree in my dining room I want to make ornaments for and decorate. Maybe it will be done by Christmas.

Looks great! It was slow going for us as well! Next year I think there may be a daddy daughter date involved so I can get it all done at once!

So pretty. You're ahead of me. Stockings aren't even hung. :( I have very little done and it will probably stay that way. Life.Is.Busy!!! :(

Loooove your tree. Does EC play in this area? H would have that ribbon yanked right off. ;( The whole bottom of our tree is undecorated now except for lights and wooden beads- which he pulls off every day. I just try to take it in stride and remind myself it doesn't really matter! I wish we had a place to put our tree besides the living room, but we don't! All of your other decor looks great as well!

I like the stockings hung about near the tree- beautiful at night. Must be so peaceful to enjoy in the evening.

Bah hum bug... for now I'm going to live vicariously through you and look at your pictures everynight before I go to bed just so I can get in the Christmas spirt- we all know I need to after a day/night like tonight! Thanks for always being such a great friend!!
