It's the most wonderful time of the year

After our Black Friday adventure, and a much needed nap, we decorated for christmas!

Our tree! My favorite one by far that we've had. We went with a country/rustic christmas theme. Just a few red bulbs and lots of antique looking and custom ornaments. Topped with an awesome cute angel we found this morning at Target.

Better look at our angel. She's got so much character! Some of our other notable ornaments in this picture; Our "Night before christmas" book, we write something in this every year. Last year we wrote 168 days! (till our wedding of course), first christmas (married) smores ornament. It's so cute, little graham cracker, hershey bar, and a bride and groom marshmallow on top, and we have some custom made ornaments with our dogs pictures on them.


My dad graciously let us go through his old christmas stuff and take some things! We have some pretty classic ornaments on there, and ones I remember from when I was a little one :)



Dad also gave us this fireplace gate. Our fireplace is very odd shaped and it didn't fit, so we put it around the ficus plant!




Our living room all decorated. We had to rearrange a little, the tree was a lot bigger than we had anticipated, but a great deal at walmart for $78!





Garland up the stairway to the loft...






This tiny pathetic picture (lol) is of my very small (but growing) village.







That book in the back was from borders for 3 dollars, it has some great christmas stories in it that one day we can hopefully read to our kids. But really, I got it because I think it's a beautiful decoration. The cloth on the table is from when I was younger and tried to sew pillows as christmas gifts lol








We bought a gorgeous flannel sheet set at target this morning I love the print and it's SO comfortable!




















The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and the pets stockings are already stuffed!

I don't think charlie is going to be able to wait until christmas!!!
