The main things that I bought new this year were bottle brush trees. I just love them! I also went through every Christmas decoration we own and donated two big boxes of them. I weeded out broken things, decorations we no longer loved or needed and it felt so good to declutter. We just decorated with our favorite things.
Welcome to our house at Christmas time! Come on in :)
Our family room.
I loved mixing my house plants with my Christmas decor this year.
We've been collecting Irish nutcrackers/Santas for a while.
Our real tree looks and smells so good!
This is the super kid friendly section. I let the kids decorate and rearrange it all month long. Most things aren't breakable and their holiday books go here. They play with this stuff every day.
Fletcher. The destroyer of Christmas decorations.
Festive Kitchen:
Fletcher's Christmas Decorations.
Both kids have everything from baby ornaments to their current favorite things on their trees.
Olive's Christmas Decorations.
A fun hope-to-do list for the month of December. We came up with it together as a family and are having a great time crossing things off the list.
Now it's time to link up with my blog friends for a Holiday Home Tour!
I can't wait to see how everyone decorated this year.
This year's Holiday Home Tour hosts include Crystal, Leslie, Becky, Penny, Stephanie, Shelly, Whitney, and Keri. I would love for you to visit the homes of these ladies, they have such beautiful spaces and I love the holiday touches they have throughout their homes.
I love it! Your home is so cozy and festive, as always! I think my favorite is your collection of green trees on the mantle - I love seeing how you use those in different places each year. The garland on the bathroom mirror is such a fun touch, too. But of course I love that you included Scrappy in your photos! He looks like he's faring very well under your care. :)
