Christmas in our house hasn't been something I have looked forward to for a looonnnnggg while. Last year we weren't even sure we were going to really do anything to celebrate Christmas after Grandy died. For the past 7+ years our family has had Nana and Grandy to celebrate with on Christmas morning. Last year it felt empty and sad. We have also had to deal with a "combined" family which essentially meant our traditions went out the door, then Ryan moved away and got married and our Christmas' have just not quite gotten back to any sort of normal. The truth is it never will.... we are all growing up and growing into our own little bubbles in the world, but for the first Christmas in a while I am actually excited. Both of my brothers will be coming in to Amarillo and for a day and a half my mom will have all her kids together at one time. With all that we are going through missing my Dad, I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to be surrounded by my family.
I was excited to decorate for Christmas this year in our house and wanted to share some of our Christmas Spirit with you!
1. Coffee filter wreath I have been dying to make for over a year. Took me a total of $3.00 to make it with materials from the Dollar Tree. 2. My newest Santa to add to my collection courtesy of my Elf Aunt. 3. Chalkboard Advent Calender that I have not been counting down on. 4. My FIRST Christmas tree to buy. 5. Red and White inspired entry-way table. 6. Neighbors red and white Christmas lights that I LOVE coming home to (even if its next door.) 7. My newest Christmas ornament and burlap tulle on the tree. 8. $5.00 Garland on the mantle with gold pinecones.
And Last but not least... my favorite part of our house.
A Wreath I put together with items from Michaels. I love the Purple and the feathers on it!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
