It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas

Decorating at my house this year was a bit slower than in years past. With me being six months (Yes, 6 months!) prego and chasing a very energetic 17 month old, I've been quite a tired lady. But, still--it is looking a lot like Christmas at our house.

A few photos:








Our Christmas tree--a little more sparse this year than normal, but did I mention that I'm 6 months prego? (Ha!!)



Dustin's new stocking--I think it must be six feet long. AND I think we have enough to completely stuff it!




Mrs. Clause--a bowling pin turned into Mrs. Clause by my mom. She stands in a corner near our entryway--greeting visitors.


The fireplace mantle.





The dining room. The fichus tree is looking rather sad--perhaps I'll fix it next year!


The Christmas Flower arrangement that I made.



The first homemade ornament that Dustin brought home. Next year, we will have a second tree for the boys!







Speaking of boys...my little man walking past the tree! He has done very well staying out of the tree!

Family Photos

Back in October we had our family photos taken by the very talented Jessica Houtz. She has them posted on her website under Client Proofing. They really turned out quite fantastic! I was able to get my Christmas cards created this evening, using her fabulous photographs. Below are a few of my favorite shots:

And so, some of these photos may reappear in a Christmas card to be coming soon to a mailbox near you!
