Christmas Time 2021

 This is becoming a blog for my Christmas decorations. I really mean to post more often, if only to make my father happy.  We had a productive year reflooring the upstairs and adding hardwood stairs. We moved some things around in the playroom and living room, so here's a peek at all that plus Christmas decorations!!

I have been waiting 13 years to have white risers and hardwood treads so I could take this photo at Christmas!  I'm finally getting my wish!! If you haven't seen the flooring already, here you go:



And a sparkly garland on the railing. :)


The living room has beautiful new vinyl plank flooring and a lovely dusty blue rug.  The Christmas decor is red, navy and plaid. My favorite!



We moved the bookcase to the living room mostly because I wanted to decorate it! :)  It was formerly covered in toy storage bins. It looks much better in here.


I added these gold reindeer statues because I think they look like bookends!





We got our tree from the mountains again this year and I love it. It's perfect.


My mom bought me this snowy garland last year and I found the perfect spot for it! It's so fun.



It's really hard to keep the table cleared what with homework, meals, crafts and art projects going on 24/7!  But I cleared it off today and arranged a quick candle centerpiece!




I got this tiered stand for Christmas last year and it has become a favorite spot for seasonal decor.  Eventually I plan to use it for a party buffet!  But for now it looks cute filled with snowmen and bottle brush trees!



The kitchen got a few Christmas items as well. The snowflakes on the cutting board are new. Georgia picked them out. :)




Georgia decorated her little tree in her room and made a new paper angel for the top!



The playroom is decked for the holiday too!  Of course it doesn't last long with hurricane Georgia, but here's what it looked like one day!


The den is also full of Christmas cheer. We have a second smaller tree down here again this year.





My brother cut this metal sign for me this year. It's a nice addition to my den decor.


This is Georgia's other tree. :) She decorated it mostly by herself and insisted that it have a topper just like Mommy's. We found this one at Target and it is a perfect miniature of my big one!


And at night, everything sparkles!




The big tree is very special at night, too.


Merry Almost Christmas everyone. I just love this time of year and so does Georgia. 


We have many Christmas plans yet to check off... looking at lights, gingerbread house, making cookies for our neighbors, peanut butter balls, and decorating cookies with the cousins! I am soaking up every minute of decorating, cocoa, christmas songs, wrapping gifts and baking. :) Happy happy holidays!
