Christmas Open House

An outside picture of the first time we have decorated anything outside!
We never had a house of our own, so we didn't want to buy anything that we couldn't use for several years. Last year Ava was so small that we decided not to, plus we bought the lights after Christmas on sale! Jeff did a great job of hanging the icicles!!

One of my favorite snowmen...

At the end of our hall, we have our stockings and
a great Christmas pop-up alphabet book some friends gave the girls last year.

The centerpiece on our dining room table.
(A wreath laid flat with a candle in the center.)

Ornaments on display.

Our tree...it was my parents' tree when I was growing up and I love it!
All of the ornaments are ours that we have collected through the years.
Nothing trendy, just good, old fashioned collectible ornaments.

Our nativity.

I guess most people who check this blog don't get to visit our home, so we hope you enjoy a few pictures of how we like to celebrate with decorations!
Merry Christmas!
