Well, I am finally done! I have the majority of this year's decorating done. I have big plans on what I'm going to add for next year, though. So here it is:
The mantle is by far my favorite thing do. I added the glitter trees this year and the nutcracker (a gift from my mother in-law). The cross is my old tree topper. It doesn't fit on the new tree, but looks nice on the mantle.
The big tree! It will definitely see some changes next year, and maybe even before. I hadn't anticipated my topper not working, so I'll be getting something to add to the top.
A lot of our ornaments have a special meaning. This drummer boy was Bill's as a child and has his name engraved on it.
Our granparents must have shopped at the same store:) This one was mine and also has my name engraved.
Noah posing ad I get an overall view of the living area. He's such an attention hog:)
The breakfast area.
The snow globe and centerpiece (along with some of my nicer ornaments) were gifts from Maw Maw Liz. She made the centerpiece herself and Ive used it every year since I've had my own place. On this very table, too.
We normally hang a sled with snowmen and our names on the door we received from Paw Paw Buck and Mama Jean for our wedding. It is in hiding this year, unfortunately. I picked up this wreath and added some ribbon. It will keep the place until I unearth the sled.
The little tree in the dining room. This will most likely be moved into the breakfast room next year to make way for the second full-sized tree.
This tree contains ornaments that were used to decorate at our Granbury reception. It also has some fun, personal ornaments on it.
This is a wine glass painted with crowns and says Queen. I am the wine queen! A gift from my Texas mom.

Every year I buy Bill a yorkie ornament because of Noah. This year will make number four. This is the second one.
