Christmas 2014 Home Tour

I had big plans for decorating for Christmas this year.  Pinterest is tricky because it inspires me with tons of ideas and then boom!  Time runs out.  I need to start decorating in November... like the beginning of November, maybe even October.  Most of our decorations went up just two days before Christmas.  :(  Oh well!  They are still up and we are going to enjoy them for another week!

I made our stockings this year and LOVE them, Santa's cookie plate is a painted pottery project from last year, and the springing Santa by the fire place is Ava Kate's new best buddy.

Jolly the Elf had his last lazy Christmas since Ava Kate might notice if he stays in the same place all month next year.  Ha.

Our Advent calendar on the crib spring is a total copy of our friends Heather & Lawrence's idea.  I had big hopes of a cutesy crib spring, but alas, time ran out.

Don't be alarmed if you sent a Christmas card and it's not on the shutter... we have a stack that haven't made it up there this year.  Time people.  There's not enough of it.

Look at our toilet paper snow man!  AHH.  I love it.  It makes me smile every time I see it.

Sorry about the blurry cell phone pictures.
