My Christmas Decor

Welcome to my home! I'm a little late posting my decor, but with six kiddos, I had bigger fires to tend to! Mainly, holiday shopping! Anyway, I still wanted to share my little side of the fence, so here goes.....

This is my entryway table. Since it's the first thing you see when you step in, I tried to make it pretty!



This is my little Nativity scene that I bought several years ago from a little girl at church. She had a flyer from school that had all sorts of items and this was only $7, but so cute I couldn't resist!



Here's our tree in all her glory!



Since hubby turned the dining room into his office, I added my village on top of his desk! We made the tree fit, but it's not centered so you can't see it from outside. Something might have to change next year!



Welcome to my kitchen!



The printed tablecloth belonged to my mother and is actually too short for my table, but I had to use it, so I put it on top of a plain red one.



This year I changed out a couple of pieces to have a different tablescape. I moved my birdhouse from this corner to the other counter, and brought in my sleigh filled with gorgeous gold ornaments.



I love my little Christmas tree cookie jar! I found this at Wal-Mart on clearance for $2.00!!! I didn't know where I was going to put it at the time, but for that price I knew it would go somewhere! LOL



Every year I try to use one of my favorite dish towels that belonged to my mother. I hung it on the oven door, but warned everybody that it's for decoration only! The gold thread in it is hideously scratchy, so it's just hanging there to look cute!



Here are more Christmas towels that I got at Dollar General last year. I actually had to iron them when I took them out of storage. They're a pain, but pretty!



Here's all of our stockings!



TV decor (shoulda got closer)



I love my skating gingerbread couple!



My pretty angel I got as a gift several years ago



Hall bath



Yes, almost every room has a tree!



Noel!



Frosty is a reed diffuser!



I even included the laundry room!



This is my newest tree that my neighbor gave me. She was going to toss it and I told her I would gladly take it off her hands. I bought a bow and used some ornaments I already had, plus a few newbies from WalMart. Ain't it divine?



I used the leftover poinsettias on our Master Bath tree



See my little snowman flameless candle? I got him from Dollar General for $3 a couple of years ago



I added a cute snowmen rug to the kids bath



Christmas bear is kinda lonely. I'll have to add something with him next year!



A little stairway decor



Gameroom decor (not much because the kiddos play up there)



Well, that ends my tour! Hope you had a fabulous Christmas day! Be Blessed!

Fabulous Feminine Friday!



Hello all! Hope your Thanksgiving was fabulous! Ours was a lot of fun. We spent it in San Antonio with friends. I now know the true meaning of "big family" fun! Along with our eight, my girlfriend invited her brother and his 7 kids and her sister and her 8 kids!!! Yes, the house was packed for two nights and there was a waiting list for the bathroom, but we had fun despite the chaos!

It's been so long since I've posted due to computer issues, but I couldn't keep staying away even though it's not fixed yet. Just praying it stays on long enough for me to post this! LOL

Deondra and I were in Nordstrom yesterday and had fun trying on dresses. I thought I'd post two of the ones we tried on, because they were so feminine.





Don't forget to check out Valencia's Feminine Friday post over at Buildeth Her House!
