The tree is completly us. We use LED lights because it saves money on electricity and our ornaments are almost all ornaments we have gotten over the years. We have ornaments for every christmas we have been together (eight years) and ornaments we have picked up from places we have been. There are about 10 "Baby's first Christmas" ornaments we got last year after Kaitlynn was born and then we have a sprinkling of red, silver and gold balls of varying shapes and sizes. I am on the prowl for a new christmas tree skirt because ours is dwarfed under our 9 foot tree. The ceilings in our living room are 20ft. (The only room in the house that has a ceiling this tall) and it is gorgeous to see as you walk down our stairs. I LOVE Christmas!!
Here is our entry way table. This incorporates an idea I saw on the blog Thirfty Decor Chick (A blog I religiously follow). I had apothecary jars and I absolutely loved how she put little ornaments into them. Hers included fake snow, which I could not find at Michaels so I opted to use beads instead. I bought a strand of bead garland and cut the end off to let all the little balls loose. The snowman is actually a pic that was about 1.00. The snowflake ornaments that are on the lid came off my tree. (Sorry tree but they look better here) I used leaves I had bought around thanksgiving because they are a deep red and will look great once I weave in some greenery. Again I used Led lights to light up the table. I'm not in LOVE with the lights but I think it will look better when they are poking out of garland instead of just laying there on the table. The presents in the background light up as well. I didn't get a picture with the lights on. I plan on adding greenery to the ledge as well.
I LOVE this snowman. I think he is so adorable!
