Here's the tree. My mom made the bow a few years ago when I was still in college. I keep wanting to get a new angel or star to put on top, but I'm too picky and too cheap to find one. All the ones I like are WAY more than I want to spend, and when I wait until after Christmas they've all been picked over. So the bow will have to do for now.
Had to show Lee's Batman and The Joker ornaments :)
This is my little snowman family Lee's stepmom gave me for Christmas last year. I think they're adorable.
This is my nativity scene that Lee's mom gave me last year. I think it's really pretty. I still want a Willow Tree nativity set though. I asked Lee for some pieces of it for Christmas this year but I'm pretty sure he didn't get it for me :( I guess I'll have to buy it myself next year.
And here's the mantle. It was kind of hard to decorate because of the big awkward TV cutout. Our TV won't fit in there so I got this charger (which I LOVE) when we moved in. I didn't have anything Christmasy to put in there this year, but maybe I can find something next year. I was thinking maybe small tree, but our big tree is right next to it, so that might be awkward. I could always do some rearranging though. Last year I got the plain red and white stockings and attempted to put our names on them like we had when we were little, but that did NOT turn out well (no artistic ability--even just painting names on stockings!) so we got these this year. Mine is the snowman and Lee's is the Santa.There are a few more little decorations around the house, but this is the main stuff. Can't wait to go shopping for more after Christmas this year!
I love your decorations! I still really want to come see your house! One of these days I'll make it up there.
ReplyDeleteI am going the day after Christmas to try to get some good (and cheap) Christmas decor.
I hope y'all have a Merry Christmas!
