Our House at Christmas

I love having the house decorated for Christmas! Here's what our house looked like year.
My friend helped with my BIG tree this year. This was the second year we had it and it just keeps getting better!


Here's a shot of just the tree. I love all the colors!

This is the topper Christin created for me

She had a couple of Santas perched here and there. (I need one more so each of the kiddos can have one?)

This is the non-Santa fireplace. It's super long and he said it scared him, so we did family gifts in here.

This is the "DO NOT TOUCH tree". It has all our breakable ornaments and is perched out of the reach of little fingers. There's even a stair gate to protect it. Plus the gifts are out of reach too. (No, I did not install spot lights for my tree. This used to be a planter box. I had a hinged lid put on and now it's fab storage)

Here's my buffet. The garland is lighted and beautiful, but hard to capture on camera

Our family tree. My favorite. I love that the boys looked for their favorite ornaments each day, and cheered with they found something new. It's in our family room.

Our stockings. Todd's and Holly's are turned so you can't see them. Todd's is Santa. This is Santa's chimney
