All Things Christmas ~ 2013



Hello lovelies! Now that Christmas has come and gone, I am going to attempt to document our Christmas this year, since I failed to blog during my two week break. Just so you know, Christmas break = absolutely wonderful!

I got to spend some much needed time with my little family and just enjoyed being at home! I feel so refreshed now! We drank lots of hot chocolate, watched Christmas movies, visited with Santa, made homemade ornaments, drove around to look at the pretty lights, visited the North Pole via the Polar Express (!!), hosted Christmas at our house for Matthew's side of the family, enjoyed my family's Christmas at my mom's, etc… I am giddy thinking about how wonderful it was so I'll just share pictures now, okay?!

Here are some pictures of the new house, all decked out in Christmas. You might notice we painted the living room (SH Perfect Greige, which I love) and the dining room (Quill by Olympic) and I'm so much happier with these rooms now. I'll hopefully be back shortly with a little house update but these can suffice for now. :)

I really loved our tree this year. It made me smile every time I walked by. :)


Notice our faux fireplace… You do what you gotta do ;)
