for Christmas decorating!
I love to decorate for any season or theme, but there's just something about Christmas decor that makes my heart super happy!
For the past two years, I've gone with a burlap, lace and silver color scheme. Mostly because I'm really picky about things matching and those colors match our living room!
It has made for a really pretty picture backdrop! So we've taken lots of Christmas outfit pictures in front of it!
In the dining room, I cleared off the buffet of the usual decorations and used it to display my Willow Tree Nativity that was a Christmas gift last year. I ended up putting it on the wood slab that we used for our cake stand at the wedding! The pinecone garland is from the wedding, too!
I had to incorporate my love for chalkboards so Daniel hung the one we've used for several events including the wedding, gender reveal, and Lovey Lou's birthday party, above the buffet! I love how it turned out!
One of my new additions this year was based around this sparkly reindeer I snagged at HomeGoods awhile back! My mom gave me the old wooden tray and I picked up the glass candle globes at Goodwill.
I added a few small silver ornaments to tie it in with the tree decor.
I used our {faux} mantle again to hang our stockings and to add more chalkboard love!
If you look really closely, you'll notice that baby Jesus is missing from the Ecuadorian nativity set I bought on my first missions trip there back in 2006. That's because a certain little lady likes to play with him! :)
My Mama gave us a few of the village pieces she's been collecting over the years. Londyn Grace loves to look at the little village!
I couldn't leave the kitchen out, so here are a few shots of the festiveness going on in there!
I had to add a Christmas themed design to the chalkboard in there as well!
I had so much fun adding holiday touches to our home!
We also put a little tree in Goosey's nursery, but I'll save that for tomorrow's post!
Londyn is too sweet!
