Deck the Halls

I wanted to post some pictures of our Christmas decorations since our family live far away and don't get to see them. Problem is the pictures suck. So here is a post filled with really bad pictures of our decs. You get the idea though.

The outside of our house is really lacking. Before living in our current home, we'd never had a garage or much space to store anything, so I don't really have anything. We just have a wreath and a couple bows on the light fixtures.

The inside of our front door is a snowman.

Our living room is mostly adorned in Nativities.

A friend just gave me the large Nativity tile!
We also have an end table with these cute and special vintage snowmen and a "Joy" glass box I made. Shay's Great Grandma Rohde made the snowmen, gave them as a gift to Grandma Sharon Bullock, and then she passed them onto us.


The stair rail is where the stockings hang (and 2 small children).


The family room is where we have the tree.


The star has lights, but looked way funky in the picture when lit. I made it from 5 yard sticks following this tutorial.

In the kitchen, I display the Christmas cards on this clothespin wreath I made.

Crystal made me these block letters years ago.

I also have a wreath snowman hanging on the wall and a little fiber optic wreath on the pantry door. 

Our upstairs is pretty lacking in Christmas decor except Cayben's tree in his room.
I scored this 6.5 foot pre-lit tree last year after Christmas for $5. I was shopping the after Christmas sales at the Base Exchange when they announced over the intercom that all clearance priced Christmas items would be another 75% off for the next hour. I asked an associate if the tree on display was included in that sale. As he was boxing up the tree I heard a couple more associates, presumably higher-up employees telling the worker that this tree was not suppose to be included in that sale. I inquired and they assured me that I would be getting the tree for the price I was told. I felt kind of bad, but happy I scored the deal of the century, at the same time. 

Well there you have it. Our Christmas decorations in crappy photos. Now it's time to take them down.
