It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas–in pictures.
As the boys get older, this time of year becomes more and more exciting.
Man do I love seeing the holidays through their eyes.

It’s a bit of a tradition for Ben to get me an updated “personalized” ornament or plaque as our family grows. I love watching out collection grow.


I like to keep our Christmas books out as part of our “Christmas room”. We read them together more this way.

Felt Merry Christmas banner // Ornament Banner Kit made by Wesley
I love using the chalkboard to hang all of Wesley’s holiday art work.

I made this felt Christmas tree banner using a handful of tutorials I found on Pinterest (not one in particular). Search “felt Christmas tree” on pinterest and you’ll find a bunch. The kids LOVE it.


Loving that Wesley is old enough for Christmas crafting. I picked these up at michaels and wesley painted them a few shades of Christmas green. Now i get to pull them out every year and smile about his 4 year old art skills.



I ended up moving the Merry Christmas sign outside to welcome people at the front door.

My mom made me these burlap Christmas pillows.

This santa teddy bear was mine when I was a little girl.

Crazy and ecclectic would be the best way to describe our mod podge of a Christmas tree. A collection of ornaments that stir up my favorite holiday memories. Ornaments from my childhood, my moms childhood, from early in our marriage, handmade by my grandmother and mother-in-law, and ornaments marking our Children’s milestones. I look forward to pulling these out every year!

My mom’s when she was a little girl.

One year I had an ALL peace sign Christmas tree–my grandma made me this one to add to it.
