I love Christmas time. Our family has a tradition of going up the hill to cut down a fresh tree, and it makes the house smell very Christmas-like. On a cozy, rainy Saturday a couple of weeks ago, I decorated.
I have a few boxes of ornaments because my mom has collected them for me and my sisters our whole life. I have a daughter ornament for every year & now we have ornaments from our wedding, puppies, and our travels! (Those are my favorite to collect!)
I love pulling out the ornaments and thinking about the meaning behind them or who they are from.

My mom's house & tree always looks amazing (and homey) during the holidays - so it's hard for me to decorate with out her, but I did what I could - I'm definitely no 'Martha Stewart' ;)
The mess!
Remember my favorite vases?
I filled them with Christmas ornaments, garland, and red pine nuts from Michaels!
Our table... I am always trying to make it better.
Christmas trees, pine cones, and candles from Pottery Barn.
Garland from Michaels.
Napkins from Home Goods - love that place!
Our stockings (pottery barn) and poinsettias from Michaels
The "New Home" ornament my mom got us!
Of course Maximus & Zeus are the stars of our tree ;)
My MIL got me the weenie tree topper for us.
My little pups!
The "First Xmas" ornament from last year.

We don't have a lot of stuff yet... but hopefully as the years go by, we'll collect it :)
I have loved seeing all of the pictures of the decor in your home.
