It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas........

I absolutely love this time of year. Although the decorating has become a little more challenging with two little ones running around, I still enjoy it.

Siebert Family Christmas Tree

I'm a little obsessed with this mesh stuff on my tree, but it's great to use if you are wanting to take up a lot of space on your tree and don't have enough of the big ornaments yet to do it.

I've collected the Dept. 56 Dicken's Village for several, several years now. Here's a small portion of it. I think I'm up to like 22 houses now. I have to display it above my kitchen cabinets now so the kiddos don't break it. :-)


The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.....
So, yes, there are 5 stockings......the 5th one is the dog's, Lexi. I got these adorable monogrammed stockings from Pottery Barn. Love them!

So happy to have our newest addition to the mantle this year!

Since we have a double-sided fireplace, I have 2 mantles to decorate. I struggled with this one this year and am still not completely happy with it, but it's a little late in the game to come up with a new strategy.

Even Lexi, the dog, gets into the Christmas spirit with her own Christmas dog bowls! I got these up in Kansas City several years ago when we lived up there.

I love to hang large ornaments from my dining room light. :-)
