It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..around November 23rd???
Yes, this year was the first time I’d ever decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving…and now I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back! A few more days in the year with a warm and cheery home? Sign me up!
As always, I wanted to share some pictures of our decor…mainly because it’s a great way for me to remember where it should all go next year! 😉
Welcome to our humble {Christmas} abode…
I bought this tree when I was 6 weeks pregnant–it just seemed perfect for a nursery.
I think I was right 🙂

Even the playroom is feeling festive!
16 days and counting…
On my to-do list this week: update the chalkboard with a Christmas quote 🙂
But for now…go cats!


Each morning Arden walks up to the advent calendar and says “Door? Ho Ho Ho!”
Hello Christmas.
My favorite Christmas mantle to date…
I spy a pink kitchen ornament from Gigi…some foreshadowing perhaps? 🙂

Popcorn garland…success!!!
Arden has only tried to eat it a few times…
My favorite pieces are always the ones I stole borrowed from my mom…
This little light-up house reminds me of my childhood 🙂
And finally, the dining room table…which we’ve only actually eaten at twice in 3 years.
But hey, it’s set and ready to go in case we ever get a wild hair. Ha!

Happy Monday my friends!
And more importantly, happy 16 days until Christmas!!!!

So pretty, like a winter wonderland!! My mom has an adorable set of light up Christmas villages that always remind me of being little too. I hope she'll hand them down to me one day 🙂
So pretty, we never eat at our dining room table either, haha!!! 🙂

LOVE it all! So many festive, and fun details. I think we kind of have the same "theme" going on at our house. A little "rustic glam" maybe? Owen says, "ho, ho, ho" too and it just cracks me up!
Gorgeous!! I love your home! Everything is so pretty 🙂
You have beautiful house. It's feel like I'm visiting your house right now.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!
Bring you Good wishes of happiness.
Sorry for greeting you earlier,, just don't want miss saying this.
By the way, I'm Clotee. It's my first time visiting your blog. I am blogger too, and now try my best luck to open an e-shop. Nice to know you.
Regards,
Clotee
So adorable & festive! Quick question. Do you use a chalk pen or your chalkboard?
Beautiful decorations! Where did you find your greenery garland strand on your mantle!? My mantle in my new house is too shallow for lighted garland so I need something like that! Will you message me on fb please? 🙂
