It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas–in pictures.
As the boys get older, this time of year becomes more and more exciting.
Man do I love seeing the holidays through their eyes.
Joy sign // holly garland // felt balls
Deer Bust // Merry Christmas sign, local // white tree, local
It’s a bit of a tradition for Ben to get me an updated “personalized” ornament or plaque as our family grows. I love watching out collection grow.
I like to keep our Christmas books out as part of our “Christmas room”. We read them together more this way.
Felt Merry Christmas banner // Ornament Banner Kit made by Wesley
I love using the chalkboard to hang all of Wesley’s holiday art work.
I made this felt Christmas tree banner using a handful of tutorials I found on Pinterest (not one in particular). Search “felt Christmas tree” on pinterest and you’ll find a bunch. The kids LOVE it.
Loving that Wesley is old enough for Christmas crafting. I picked these up at michaels and wesley painted them a few shades of Christmas green. Now i get to pull them out every year and smile about his 4 year old art skills.
I ended up moving the Merry Christmas sign outside to welcome people at the front door.
My mom made me these burlap Christmas pillows.

This santa teddy bear was mine when I was a little girl.
Crazy and ecclectic would be the best way to describe our mod podge of a Christmas tree. A collection of ornaments that stir up my favorite holiday memories. Ornaments from my childhood, my moms childhood, from early in our marriage, handmade by my grandmother and mother-in-law, and ornaments marking our Children’s milestones. I look forward to pulling these out every year!
My mom’s when she was a little girl.
One year I had an ALL peace sign Christmas tree–my grandma made me this one to add to it.

Would love for you to share your Christmas decor in the comments.

Everything about this is perfection! I love your style! I think we could be the best of friends. Ha! Now I am THAT girl… For reals though, you are darling, your family is darling, and your decor is darling!

I love this! I tried to go to the tutorial for the felt Christmas tree. It would take me to Pinterest, but from there I couldn’t get the link in the pin to work. Were you just looking at the pin when you made it? Please let me know if there is a tutorial that you used that breaks down how much felt you need and any templates, etc for ornaments. Thank you!!
Shelly
I absolutely love your mantel and all the pillows. I need to get myself some pillows…I am slacking this year. So far, I only have my mantel decorated and have my tree :/ Here is my decorations so far http://behindblueeyesblog.com/christmas-fireplace-mantel-2013/

I desperately need to know where you got the hot air balloon picture! please please please!!
Ashley Stock
ShawnaI am so sorry that the link was broken! I fixed it, but here it is just in case: http://www.etsy.com/shop/saltybison

I love the ornaments that ‘stir up memories’! It makes me all kinds of sad to see those Better Homes and Gardens-type trees with only new, shiny, boring ornaments to create a “cohesive color story.” Booo!! The story is the beginning of the greatest joy ever to be born on Earth! Rock on with your beautiful decorations that focus on family!!
I’m working on a post this week about my decorations. My husband and I hung up all our childhood toy tractors on our tree, along with a few other things. We both grew up on farms, so its dorky and personal! 😛
Lovely home. Love it!
Ashley Stock
CarolynI love the idea of turning old toys into ornaments! so sentimental and personal! thank you for that great idea 🙂 xoxo

I love it all. Your posts are always so inspiring and give me great perspective as I have just begun this parenting journey. Thank you.
I’m also wondering if the extra stocking on the plaque has a special significance? Love this tradition.
Lisa

LOVE the felt tree! So simple and my kids would love it! Where on earth do you buy felt that size??
Sheila@Chinaberry
Ooh, I love your mix of Christmas ornaments ~ I thought I was the only one with a mish mash, but it’s one I love! And, I have the same oversized peace sign ornament, and I might up plop it on top of our Christmas tree too.

So…Noisy me! Am I crazy to think they’re a blank stocking with a heart? Does that possibly mean that there is a yet to be named addition to the Stock family?
Katie Albury
Oh wow your Christmas decor is amazing!! So unique and so stylish…I love everything!

Monica White
Where did you get your adorable christmas tree on the mantle with the red base? I love it

So bright and cheery! Love how welcoming it feels 🙂 Our tree is the same way–a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but above all–lots of love and happy memories! Hope it was a very, merry one!
