I took a much-needed week off from blogging to spend time with my family over the holidays. Though this was Emma’s third official Christmas with us already, it was the first one that she was really into and it made all the difference. There is just something about watching kids at Christmas-time that is absolutely magical. And while I usually keep seasonal decorations fairly neutral in our home, it seemed fitting to go with traditional red and green this year. Emma loved all of the bright colors and needless to say, our tree will remain in our family room longer than ever before because she is so in love with it and the twinkling lights and the electric train that runs in circles underneath the thick, bottom branches. Here are some photos of how we decorated this season, and a few snapshots of our week.
{So in love with how this year’s Christmas cards turned out…thanks to Hey Baby Photography and Tiny Prints}
{Little red lanterns were perched on benches and wine racks to add a pop of festive color}
{I placed a smaller wreath in the center of a large wreath and tied them together with floral wire to give a full look}
{Small woven rugs from Ikea made for table runners and fake snow filled candle holders}
{Lots of lazy mornings making cinnamon rolls is how I like to start the day over the holiday season}
{Gift wrapping, and holiday gift wrapping to be specific, is one of my all-time favorite hobbies}
{Wrapping complete and boxes ready to be placed under the tree}
{Kraft paper, red and green decorative wrapping paper (all from T.J. Maxx) and topped with bows and fresh Christmas branches}
{More pretty packages}
{Twinkling lights never get old}
{Some of my favorite glass ornaments were placed on side tables instead of the tree}
{An old wreath was pulled out of storage and given a fresh, plaid bow, so it looked like new}
{A little red and green was tucked into every corner of our home}
{This coffee-table centerpiece is full of holiday cheer}
{More lazy mornings with my little girl}
{Iron pine-cones for our stockings and store-bought, Christmas-scented pine-cones lined the mantel}
{My little family with one addition still to be named}
{Adding heaps of sprinkles and icing to each cookie made for one happy girl and a pretty plate for Santa}
Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday with family and friends!
