Oh, What Fun It Is To... Decorate!

Today I am linking up with Erin at Blue Eyed Bride to show of our Christmas decorations.

If a 15 month old boy running loose in the house, we decided it was in our best interest and best for our sanity to keep our decor simple this year. 

Some things I didn't take pictures of include candles in all our front windows, our advent wreath on our dining room table, Christmas Wreath on the front door, Christmas flag as well as two Christmas decorations on the front porch. Perhaps when I have more than five minutes of free time, I will get around to taking pictures of these things. 

We finally have a fireplace! We didn't have one in our previous house so I was very excited to be able to hang our stockings on the mantle this year. Our stockings are from Pottery Barn and the pups stockings are from Home Goods.

One of my favorite pieces of our Christmas decor is our Nativity scene by Willow Tree. It was one of my Christmas gifts from my in-laws last year and I am in love with it!  

This year we decided to get our Christmas tree from a local place in town instead of driving to the mountains to cut our own down. We found a beautiful tree and we decorated it with all our fun ornaments that have sentimental value. Our tree skirt was handmade by one of Brian's aunts.

A few of my favorite ornaments...

1. My Baby's First Christmas Ornament from 1980. 2. Mason's First Christmas ornament 3. Hand woven star from Germany 4. Moravian Christmas Star 5. Moravian Advent wreath

One last decoration is the fun Rudolph pillow made by to talented momma,  Meredith. Mason loves to point to Rudolph. 

Like I said, we kept things simple this year but I love how festive and cheery our house looks and feels. 

Don't forget to link up with Erin today and showcase your Christmas decor!  

Now tell me, What are some of your favorite Christmas decorations?
