Deck the Halls

I am celebrating this holiday season a little under the weather. So to amuse myself, I thought I would give you a tour of my house. We had high hopes of having people over but this sinus infection has wiped me out...so I bring my house to you! This is just a few of my decorations. I didn't take any pictures of upstairs but I did decorate it!

I love my mistletoe!

My dad bought this for me in Germany. He gave it to me on our last Christmas together so it holds a very special place in my heart.

My 9 foot slim line tree. It came "frosted" and I love it! My rotunda is so big that it makes my tree look dinky but I promise it isn't! It also rotates so we can see all the ornaments.


I have 3 manger scenes. This one is my collection from Kelly. It is jeweled and fabulous!
This manger scene was given to me piece by piece from my dad's parents. I just love it and look forward to displaying it every year!


This is the front of my fireplace. Ballard Design has the cutest stockings and stocking holders!
This is the back of my fireplace and faces the dining room. It has Kelly and my childhood stockings.


I started a collection of hunting ornaments for Kelly.
Aren't they cute!?!


This is a new (but very old) piece of furniture that we just got in time for Christmas. The ball thing on the right is a rosary that we got on our engagement trip to Mexico...I just love Mary!


This is how we decorated above our front door. You can't tell with the glare, but the gold piece in the middle is Santa writing on a list. The gold glowing is coming from our lit pine cones. 


Kelly and I made these gold candles thanks to an idea from Pintrest. It took awhile but looks great. 


And last but not least, every house needs to have a Rudolph!
Hopefully, I will get better soon so that people can actually look at all our Christmas treasures themselves!
Ho Ho Ho!
