The Christmas Tour of Homes

I love our tree, I guess you would say that the theme is red and silver but all of our ornaments have some sentimental meaning. My mom has given me an ornament every year of my life and now give us one as a couple. In addition Brian and I often buy ornaments when we travel or on our shopping trips during the Christmas season. My tree skirt is actually the skirt from a Bridesmaid dress that I wore in a very good friends wedding.
These ornaments are from my grandparents tree when they were a younger first married couple. I love that I am able to have them in my home.
Even the Santa has Red Raider spirit. I made the candy dish one year when all the girls in my family went to the pottery painting place.
I love my Snowman couple!


I think I will leave this sign up all winter long.
I have collected pigs since I was a tiny little girl and I have a pig in every room but this is my first Christmas pig that isn't an ornament. Just seeing him on my porch makes me smile. He was a surprise gift from Brian this year, who adds to my decorations every year.
My sisters and I have an annual Gingerbread house competition and this was mine this year. My inspiration came from Martha Stewart and the trees were time consuming!
I try to do something different every year with my mantle. I like the simplicity of the bottle brush trees and that I could use my silver candlestick collection in a different way.
