Who's ready for some Christmas Decor?!

The time is here!! Are you ready? Are you sure you are ready!? What is it time for you ask? Christmas Decor of coarse!!!! Wahoo!! I couldnt be more giddy about how the house is turning out!! Of coarse I always think there can be just a little bit more glitter or just a few more ornaments but I do have to say that I LOVE coming home to Christmas!!

So here is a little preview...I figured I wouldnt post all pictures in one posting, make ya come back to look ;)
This is how the living room is looking so far! :)

See those cute little reindeer?! I got those afew years ago on clearance at Pier 1, they were a really sparkly gold though, clearly doesnt go with the decor, so a quick coat, okay like 4 coats of spray paint and a gorgeous red they are! LOVE! Obviously still need to get the stocking embroidered (anyone know of a good place or someone who does that) with our names buut they at least match! Ahh I just love it!! Of coarse there is atv right in the middle but hey, it is what it is! :)



Ahhh, our beautiful tree!! I am so in love with this tree this year, I just get ever so giddy thinking about it!! I was NOT ever so giddy when putting the lights on however! I got 4 strands on and then tried to plug it in to see how it was coming along, annnd I am a ding dong, after the second strand I had plugged them in the wrong way, so after an hour of putting them on I got to take another hour of taking them off, sheesh!!! :/
It looks fabulous now though, not to toot my own horn :) We even got a train set to go along the tree, LOVE IT!

The last thing I have to show you all is how I decided to display Christmas Cards, I have no card holder and really had no idea where or how I was going to display them. So, to Pinterest I went and there I saw the most brilliant idea ever...



Ribbon on the door, how incredibly easy! Loving the Christmas Cards coming in!! If you cant tell I am utterly in love with this season! :)

Next I will show you the dining room display and the front porch and the wreaths that I made for the front doors, I have to admit they are gorg! :)

We're heading to Leavenworth this weekend as well, here we come Bavarian Village, cant wait to see that light display!

What kinds of Christmas events/decor have you all been up to? I am dieing to know!!

Christmas tree adventure!

Whew!! That's my feelings today! We were up until 11:30 decorating the Christmas tree last night because of coarse I couldn't sleep until all ornaments were hung! :) pictures of all christmas decor are to come shortly! However!! We took quite the excursion this weekend to go get our tree! I have had a fake tree forever! But Russ is all about having a real pine tree so last year was my first excursion up greenwater into the mountains to go hike and chop down a tree!! And it was ridiculously stormy the kids didn't even make it out of the truck!! This year however!! Weather was gorgeous!! We left around 9 and after 3 hours of driving just to go 8 miles we finally made it!! People were getting stuck everywhere, they didn't plow roads this year so it was a mess! We got theist gorgeous tree and sled and played in the snow and then got to sit in another 3 hours of traffic!!! I mean c'mon people!! The view however was breathtaking! And then we got to come home to our beautifully lit home!!

Ps. Christmas decor to come!! I have been slaving away with my glue gun;)
