We Have A Lot - Down to the Partridge In The Pear Tree

I've told you before that I have a small Christmas decorating addiction.
Maybe it isn't that small of an addiction....

I really tried to edit down my decorations this year. Our house isn't that big and I think there is a fine line between "festive" and "tacky" so I worked hard at not putting everything out this year. I also didn't take pictures of everything.... I think that might a little much.

Here is a little tour of our home:
(Some of these trees you may have seen before. Sorry about the repeats.)

Welcome -
Right beside the door are these vases filled with ornaments. I love these.

Dinning room - These are all a gift theme

I just added this the other night. My friend Holly made it for me. The red and gold fit perfectly in this room. Plus it was a gift, so I thought it had to go in the gift room.

Family room - Everything is a pretty Christmas red and green. Most things are polka dots.

The presents are the left of this picture are new. Alyse and I both love them! You can also see our stockings. (Remember that story?)

This is Alyse's favorite - Her Fisher Price Little People Nativity! (Also known as her "animals".)

This house is an advent countdown. Each day she opens one of the doors to hear a different Christmas carol and to find a little treat. In front is her Elf on the Shelf. (BTW-If you have not read this post, you have to. It cracked me up!)

View from the kitchen

Kitchen - My kitchen is kinda a collection of things. It has a few Nativities and other fun decorations in it.

This Nativity is from Jerusalem. Josh's sister, Maria, brought it home for me.

Some of my favorite hand towels

I bought this tree at the Christmas Show a few years ago. My parents have one just like it. I wanted to have one just like they them.

Guest bath room-

Guest bedroom-

Alyse's room with her tree and Baby's First Christmas stocking from '07. Also underneath is a collection of singing snowmen from Hallmark from the past 5yrs or so.

Alyse's "socks" on her bed.

Master bedroom "aka- Mommy's room" - everything is black and silver.

There are so many more little things that I could show you....

But I will stop for now.

Oh, the partridge in the pear tree is not pictured. It is on the 12 Days of Christmas tree that is right inside our family room. (All the tree pictures are here if you haven't seen them yet.)
