Christmas Tag

I saw this tag on Natalie's blog and thought I would participate since she invited anyone to do it. I just thought it was a great idea!! Thanks for passing it along Natalie :D


Our Christmas Tree...
We bought a new tree last year and therefore all new tree decorations to go with it. I love our new tree...if it were up to me we would not even decorate it...I think it is pretty enough to stand on it's own! It has pine cones and twigs all over it and it is one of those great kinds that already have the lights strung so you just build it in sections!! (Terrific invention in my opinion.) The kids just love to help put the ornaments on the tree, so of course we decorate it!! We are still in search of the perfect topper...hopefully we will find one soon!



Favorite Christmas Decoration...
Well that is easy...because it is what is "new" this year. I was wanting something great for our coffee table and went out hunting at some of my favorite shops...I finally found the perfect thing...unfortuanetly it was $170!! And even if we were swimming in money I would never pay $170 for a center piece...so I decided to make one myself!! I am happy to report I got the same great look at a fraction of the cost!



Finally my favorite Ornament...
That is a toss up...the ornament would be the Snowman in Santa hat...just love him!! But I also love the garland on our tree. So I took a picture with both in it. The garland has rustic jingle bells and miniature yarn balls...gotta love that!!

I invite any one else that would like to share some of their favorite Christmas Decorations to do so! I know I for one would love to see them!! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for showing! I love your decorations so nice! I am afraid I won't be in the nice league for a few years.

Seriously, a kind, loving sister-in-law would come and decorate the house of their "less talented" and by less talented I mean talentless sister-in-law. You are amazing!

Erin, your house is beautiful!! And even if it were true that you were talentless (and it is NOT) I'm sure Matt could whip you up something nice in no time flat!!
