It doesn't take much to decorate our little townhouse :)
Our new addition this year. I love it :)
My mom gave me an ornament every Christmas Eve since my very first Christmas. She gave me all of my ornaments the first Christmas after I got married and it's so fun having all of my ornaments on my own little baby-proof tree now :) When we were decorating the tree this year, Jack kept asking, "How old were you when you got this ornament?" I'm excited to keep the tradition going :)
My mom also gave me a piece of the Willow Tree nativity every year for Christmas since I was young, and while I didn't appreciate it when I lived at home, I am SO GRATEFUL for it now! I love my nativity.
(Every time I post on my blog that my mom gave us something, my mom says that I should put my parents instead of just her. But let's get real - I know who does the shopping in my parent's home :) SO THANKS, DAD, TOO!!!!
Under our tree :) Another gift that my parents gave Jack his first Christmas. We are spoiled.
I got this little nativity from The Vatican during my study abroad in 2008. We keep this one in our room.
I have yet to put up our Christmas stockings because we don't have a fireplace and I can't figure out where to put them.

And I think I should win the title, "Most Deceptive Blog Post Award!" My house looked like this when I took all of the above pictures. I'M SO DANG TALENTED!!!! Signing off to go clean now!
Love your decorations and the willow nativity scene is one of my all time favorites. I have the three wisemen but nothing else - want to start adding more pieces and stat! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your nativity scenes.
ReplyDeleteBut my favorite picture of all is the last picture. That is real life right there :) So glad I'm not the only one without an immaculate home!
