Decking the Halls

I think it's been pretty obvious around these parts lately that I love to deck the halls this time of year.... decorating for Christmas is the only good fuzzy feeling that compares to being on the beach with a margarita.

~ I wrapped gold ribbon around the lighted garland going up the staircase this year... not an easy task. 

~ Festive pillow I picked up at Target

~ Even though it scares me to go into Walmart, I found myself in there the other day and was impressed at how well their 3 wick candles stack up to the ones at Bath & Body Works

Our house is exploding with nutcrackers and penguins, and I moved our blue and silver decor from our 1st Christmas together up to the game room after switching over to a red and gold theme.

~ I made my own garland to hang up around the door since I felt it looked nekked.... another not so easy task, but worth it... and yes that's another nutcracker in the corner.

~ Dining room table with yet even more nutcrackers

~ My fav decor item picked up at Old Time Pottery was my snowman countdown thing-a-ma-jig

~ Christmas tree and stockings hung with care

~ Nativity scene I picked up at Home Depot last year after Christmas for only $10

~ Little throw pillows from the Target dollar bins

~ My pitiful gingerbread house

I wanted to get a "before the Christmas tree" shot and got the most adorable little photo bomber caught on camera.
