Our House at Christmas

 I finally got all of my Christmas decorations out for the year.  I have to say that I am sorta sad to think it all has to go back in the attic in just a couple of weeks.  I love decorating for Christmas. 

 I started collecting Santa's a few years ago and I use them all around the house.

 This is our entry way tree

 Entry Way table that I display all of my cards on.  One of my favorite things is to receive different Christmas cards in the mail

My dining room decorations

 I got this Cookies for Santa plate when Sarah Grace was a baby.  I am really excited about leaving goodies for him and his reindeer this year! 

I have a tree in my dining room that has all of the little things I have collected over the years (anniversary ornaments, engagement ornaments,Santa's and things my girls have made me)

Our living room mantel and Large Tree

I was so excited this year when I came across this stocking holder.  I was worried that the girls might pull over the metal hangers on top of them so this works out perfect.

Years ago my mom bought me this Elf from Home Interiors.  We have used it this year as "the elf of the shelf".  Sarah Grace named is Elf's friend.  He goes back to the North Pole every night to tell Santa how the girls did each day.  Naughty or Nice!  Every time Sarah G starts to cry she will wipe her tear and say "you better watch out, you better not cry".  Even though we have a great time with Santa and the fun things of Christmas, we have explained the most important part of Christmas to Sarah Grace this year.  The birth of our savior Jesus Christ. 

My Kitchen Decor

My mom bought me this arrangement a few years ago.  It is one of my favorite pieces. 

My Poinsettia and Christmas Cones that I love so much!

I hosted a luncheon for my daughters school last week and we played the white elephant game.  This Hope sled is what I got and I love it!  It hangs on my pantry door

This is my cooking Santa that sits on my stove top. 

Have a Blessed day! Tracy
