Holiday Home Tour

by

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since I linked up to The Nester’s Holiday Tour. That was my second link party that I ever did. MY.OH.MY. what a difference a year can make.
For many of my readers, these pictures are a repeat…but to you first timers…hello! Nice to meet you.
I thought we would start at the beginning of the decorating. The prep work along with a few added helpers. My helpers, who by the way…helped me realized that I didn’t need to be perfect with the decor. Because they loved it no matter what.

Here’s our tree:


Here’s some of my sentimental favorites ornaments:

Here’s our whimsy mantel:

The Twins’ Room:

Our Hallway:

Now we’ve come full circle.
TODAY ~ this is how our tree looks:


It’s still standing. *Thank goodness!* A little re-arranged, but still there.

Hands down, this has been the funnest year to decorate. The kids enthusiasm alone, could keep me decorating up until the end. But…I’ve chosen to stop decorating for the rest of this year. These priceless moments with the kids are passing by far too quickly.

I just want to sit back & watch it all unfold.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here & reading my posts! I’ve started truncating my posts, so please click over to read the rest of the story!
THANK YOU!

  7. There are so many things I adore about your decorations I don’t know where to start! I love the silhouette ornaments and the layered pattern Christmas trees on the mantel. It’s all so cozy and sweet!

  9. Love your Christmas decorating! Especially love the twins room, your candycane card holder and of course the antlers. Wonderful!

  10. love your happy home and Christmas cheer! And I love the idea of the chalkboard under the beadboard. I may do the opposite in my dinning room!

  20. I love it all!!! That first pic of the kids with the lights is gorgeous! What a wonderful diamond stained glass window you have! I like the ribbon loop trees on their shiny red stands and those antlers on the red houndstooth are fantastic! The BIG writing on the chalkboard wall is lovely. Kelly

  23. Love it!! I know what you mean about the kids and their excitement!! I have a 3 and 1 year old and they blew me away this year with their helping hands and decorating skills!!!! I have done really good about not fretting if a ball gets broken or the tree not being all perfect! =) And they have done good by keeping the tree standing with only 10 broken balls! =) Love them!! I can only see it getting better and better each year!!

  26. What a lovely and cheerful Christmas you have. It really is a Christmas to make both parents and children happy. You mix grown up style with kiddos playfulness very well.
    Have a wonderful Christmas time!
