Since I can’t invite (most of) you over, I put together a group of photos I’ve taken around our Christmas house over the last month—some new, and many of which you’ve already seen. . . .
Remember those free pumpkins I found a couple of years ago? Inspired by this porch, I turned them upside down, covered them with lights and stuck them in our planters.
Our house at night. . .
The kids begged for blinking, colored lights. So, I gave in and Daddy decorated their swing set.
We temporarily converted the office back into a dining room.
Chalkboard art is a collaborative effort around here.

ReplyDeleteI love seeing everyone's Christmas decor. It looks lovely - warm and inviting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and relaxing house!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so beautiful and inviting! Love the kids play set - what fun that must be for them! And I do a toy clean out every year before Christmas too! Actually for the past couple years I've had the kids choose 3 of their toys that are in good condition to donate and tie it back in to the nativity story - 3 wise men - 3 gifts. Then I collect a few more that they'll never notice are missing while they're at school. ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love all of the natural elements you incorporated this year Emily! My favorite though is the wreath around the umbrella stand :) I love accessorizing the random places for the holidays too.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you & your beautiful family! xo-Kristin
