Christmas up in here

12.15.2013

The hubs and I are addicted to Breaking Bad and I constantly have gangster talk running through my head. Hence the post title. I also have the strong urge to post an emoji every time I finish a sentence. Intervention!

I love seeing how other folks decorate and here's what we have going on. It is by no means up to other bloggers' standards but it is our little slice of Christmas posted here to look back on.

We get a live tree every year and I love the fresh smell. The boys did such a sweet little job decorating this year and were so excited about it.  It seems we are past the toddler years of them yanking ornaments off the branches (though that makes me sad!).  I love seeing all of our favorite little decorations that each have a sweet memory attached ("It's a boy!") Sigh... And I love making salt dough ornaments with the boys, a tradition carried over from my sweet Nana C. They are broken and beat up, but they are special:) The pine cones on the chairs in the dining room were inspired by Katie's inspiration post (on a smaller scale of course;).


There are lots of handmade goodies that my boys have made in school and I just cherish those. Love seeing my Christmas cards too--beautiful friends and families.


On another Christmas note, this little man performed in his little school Christmas musical. He informed me that he was not "stage frightened" and that he loved it.  Ha! And we're so blessed with amazing teachers.


Excited to share the Christmas card soon too!

  2. Everything looks so pretty! If you are really missing ornaments being taken off the tree, I have an adorable, ornament-loving, tree climbing kitten that you can have :)

  3. We were hooked on Breaking Bad too, watched it all a few months ago, then watched the final few episodes as they aired. Intense stuff, isn't it?!?!

  5. Ahh, I love it! So warm and beautiful, Courtney. That manger scene I spy?? You might have to show me more of that. And I love that I spy several SBN cards in your display ;) Our tree is decorated from about two feet up...and then the floor of the entire house is covered with the non-breakable ornaments. Baby James (I can still call him that, right?!) likes to crawl away with them and then I will find them stashed in funny places.

    AND, I love emojis...they're just so...expressive ;)
