Christmas Tour 2011

It's definitely one of my favorite times of the year! I love when our home is decorated for Christmas!

This year, I tried to keep things a little more simple.   I kept quite a few of our decorations boxed up and only got what I really wanted out.   So, without anymore words, here is our home decorated for Christmas 2011...

{The Kitchen}

I love this centerpiece I made this year.  I found the container at a thrift store for 50 cents and it was hideous...but I spray painted it white of course and now it looks so much better.  Then I added 2 small poinsettias, filled in with moss and the cute picks.  LOVE IT!

{FOYER & LIVING ROOM}

This is the tree the kids decorated and all the little teacher gifts are under it waiting to be handed out!

{DINING ROOM}

{FAMILY ROOM}

We got a REAL tree this year for the first time ever!!! 

And now, I don't think we can go back to fake!  Seriously, we love it! 

Pottery Barn stockings, Christmas books, and all of our past Christmas cards

Our kids nativity set that my mom gave them.  The girls LOVE playing with it almost everyday!

And just a pic of my cutie patootie girls for good measure!
