Christmas Decor

All the decor is up! Every bit of it I love!

Starting with the living room and our stockings hanging off the entertainment center. Don't worry Aiden knows to only look but not touch or his toe is going to hurt. Eventually the small frames will have a picture in it...but that will come.

Then my FAV part. Aiden's tree. His Grinch tree!! The picture I took is before it was 100% done. I found a couple of Wes' Grinch ornaments as I was putting up our tree then I found a small Grinch stuff animal that sits at the very top. You just can't get any cuter than that! I think we get more compliments on that than our real tree. :-)

Last year I put Christmas cards out on my buffet, but received so many I couldn't display them all. So last October I made a clothespin wreath that will hold them all! I stuck a few cards from last year so it wouldn't look so bare. And speaking of cards I PROMISE I will get them out next week. So behind!!!!!! I love my tinsel garland, but after christmas this year I want to replace it with "natural" garland so I can put red bows in each of the gathers.

Now the best part!! Our tree!!!! I just love love love our real trees. Yes it's a pain, but you can't replace the smells that come with them every year. I had wanted us to go to the tree farm and cut ones down ourselves...but yeah our schedules were too crazy. Boo! NEXT YEAR! But we went to our awesome local Farmers Market (best part about living out in the country) and got one. And the double bonus was all the proceeds went to charity thanks to the Millington Kiwanis Club. (And yes Mom and Dad those gold satin balls will look SOOOO awesome next year ;-) hehe)

We are heading back up to the Farmers Market this weekend to go enjoy hot cocoa/cider and go on an "enchanted" hayride. aka field full of lights. Aiden will love it. He's a big fan of lights....my little Clark Griswold! Then another visit by the Big Man himself, Santa! Let's hope this visit is better. All this fun for 2 cans of food for Millington's Food Pantry.

Now the best decor of all! Thank GOODNESS my parents didn't sell this. My LARGE ceramic Christmas tree! It's probably a good 30+ years old and double bonus it was Mudder's. :-) Makes it that much better! It just needed a new topper, an angel was too fitting. Hands down my most coveted decor and will probably be triple bubbled wrapped after christmas! lol Just need to find a plastic bin large enough for it. Complete love!
