Show Us Your Life: Christmas Decor Edition

Well, it is Friday and time for another edition of Show Us Your Life at Kelly's Korner. This week Christmas decor!

We decorate right after Thanksgiving, so we can enjoy all our hard work for a few weeks before it goes back into our teeny tiny storage room.

This year we had a tiny helper. Lo did so good, I was impressed I could still decorate with her "helping."

Showing her, her "Baby's First Christmas" ornament.

Here is the finished product.

Enjoy!

Christmas angels my grandpa and grandma made for us.

I heart snowmen...in case you couldn't tell. :)
(please excuse the junk in the back...forgot to move for the pic :( ).

The miniature Christmas trees are from my Jan winter wonderland wedding.
We found these trees for $1.99 1/2 price at Hobby Lobby that year and just went to town flocking and spraying glitter all over them. They are one of my favorite things!

These are our stockings that my mom knitted. Somewhere along the line a relative knitted one for each new child with their name and birth year. My mom has picked up the tradition to ensure all her family and grandbabies have one. And yes, even our dogs have stockings (only they are store bought :) ).

The Christmas tree.
This picture does NOT do our tree justice. I think our tree is so beautiful lit up at night! It just sparkles. We use ~6-700 mini lights and then ~100 big bulb lights as garland.
I then add these glitter tree sticks (again from my wedding) to make it look like frost has landed on my tree. This year I found my cousin's beaded snowflakes from her Jan winter wonderland wedding and added them and man does it make the tree sparkle even more.
I love the icy look. Plus, as an added bonus the tree decor matches the rest of the upstairs in color and theme...not that I planned that or anything ;)

This year's most important ornament!

Finally the entire reason for the season.
The Nativity scene.
Our is the Willow Tree collection. You will find Willow Tree people all over my house. I love how they capture moments so beautifully.

I can't wait to get more ideas and see how everyone else decorates! It is such a fun season.

Merry Christmas!
