Well, if you didn't know it, now you do! It's time for BooMama's Tour of Homes! We didn't too much in the way of elaborate decorations this year. We still have our little Christmas tree from when we were first married! I'm hoping next year will be the year that we get a big ole' honkin full, thick, tall, obnoxiously lit tree! It's our First Christmas with our new baby and the first Christmas in our first home! How exciting! So sit back, all you friends and family from back home who can't drop by this Christmas season, and see our house all decorated up in its Christmas finery!
- Come on in!
And of course, the dog has to have his own stocking that will be full of Chicken treats and dog loofa toys!
This is just part of my village. I set it up in 3 different locations around the kitchen this year. Last year I had it all spread out on our bar with lots of fake snow!
Last year I put wee lil votive candles nestled within the red glass beads. It was very pretty and looked neat with the glow of the tree around. This year, I stuck our Christmas card in the red beads.
John Michael got his very own Christmas tree this year. I dressed his tree up in all the special momentos from these past few months. I topped the tree with his blue hat from the hospital, hung "first Christmas" ornaments, Alabama ornaments, and anything little boy related!
The Mantle. I am so proud of my mantle this year. You have to understand that I am not terribly creative in this department and I got some wonderful ideas from The Nesting Place. Looking at her post made me think I CAN do a garland and make it different and a little unique!
I mixed traditional red berries/lights/garland with BIG magnolias, gold beady-things, feathers, and brown flowing wisteria stuff! Sounds weird, but it came out well. Plus...ALL half off at Hobby Lobby! Wonderful!
Our table is now set for Christmas. I couldn't find a centerpiece, so I made this one from things I had sitting around the house=FREE decorations!
From our home to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, y'all. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season!
Here's my attempt to get Jackson to pose beside the tree. That didn't go very well, as you can tell!
- Wait!
- Be Still!
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
