Home for the holidays

December 12, 2011

We had SUCH a great weekend that included a big trip to see Santa and Mickey.  Yep, we went to Disney World for only 24 hours…totally crazy but so worth it!  Maxwell looked like this by the end of our whirlwind trip…

My pooped little buddy!  Lots of details to come this week.

Today I thought I’d share a few of our Christmas decorations.  If you don’t know, I LOVE Christmas.  I love everything about it – Christmas cards (it could not be more fun to get the mail everyday during the holidays), Christmas music (Kenny & Dolly is a personal sentimental fave), Christmas parties (fudge and cookies? yes, please!) and, most of all, Christmas decorations (the more sparkle and glitter the better!).  I’m not sure Robert knew what he was getting into during our first Christmas together!  🙂

I like the house to look festive.  It just makes the whole season seem more merry, you know?  My front living room and dining room are full of the aforementioned glitter…

The den doesn’t have the sparkle, but it’s got the Santa!

I kind of have a thing for Santas…I got it from my parents.  Santas are all over the house.

My Santas are jolly…

and cheerful…

and puffy…

and even filled with cookies.

And, you can’t have Santa without one of his reindeer.  Duh.

Is it Blitzen?  Donner?  I’m still not sure…he doesn’t talk much.

The outside of our house looks just as festive as the inside thanks to Susan and her incredible bow-making ability!

I’ll say it again, I LOVE Christmas!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

    It was a great week-end at Disney and so worth the short trip! I’m also looking forward to my 24 hour trip to Birmingham – can’t wait to see your decorations in person! Love the Christmas season!

    […] ho ho!  I LOOOOVE Christmas time!  My decorations will be mainly the same as last year, but, with Susan’s help, I am doing something new to the outside.  Will share pics next […]
