I finally brought out the Christmas decorations on Saturday but we had some major cleaning and organizing to do first. It's insane how quickly our house had turned into a clusterf*** ever since a certain little girl graced us with her presence 9 months ago ;) But I am happy to report that the looney bin is back to normal and the Christmas tree finally made its debut yesterday! V got to put up the first ornament - meaning Ronnie placed it on there and she yanked it back off ;)

I'm so awful with our little point and shoot and have no clue how to take good pictures, let alone pictures of lights!
So, blurry shots is what you're getting!

By the time I started decorating last night, I was just so exhausted. It made me think of how different things were last year when I put up the tree, over 8 months pregnant. No baby to tend to and how immaculate the house already was. It was so easy back then. Luckily, I'm a million times more in love with life now :)

Total #firstworldproblems but I have to show y'all. While cleaning out V's room, I discovered she has THIS MANY Christmas things to wear. We don't even have that many Christmas events to go to! So, girlfriend's gonna wear a new outfit every other day, no matter where we're going. ha

Ready to venture out into the cold just so mom and dad could get some night time Starbucks ;)

Ooh, and I finally caught up on Nashville! Do y'all watch it!? I LOVE Rayna and seriously want to just be her (if it includes that amazing house of hers!) when I grow up ;) Just minus the politician husband. And am I the only one who thinks Juliette is a little biatch?! Gah she irks me. Maybe it's just because I'm not a big fan of Hayden herself. Either way, the ending was really good, it totally surprised me! And that boyfriend of hers is HOTT.

It was a really good, tiring weekend. Too bad all good things must come to an end.
And notice how I didn't post a picture of a completed Christmas tree? Probably because it's not completed. Babies, man. Always wanting attention and stuff ;)

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!!

 

Making our place Christmasey

With just 3 days left until Christmas I figured it was about time I post some pictures of the Christmas decor up at our casa!! I was not feeling the decorating this year so it's nothing spectacular but it makes us happy :) I did promise myself it'll be WAY better next Christmas though. (Especially since we'll be most likely hosting it at our place next year!)...Excuse me for the picture overload.

Welcome to our little casa :)
This is on the gate that you have to come through to get to our front door.

 A sign on the wall right by the front door

Front door with wreath my momma made me.

It's not my usual style but it's pretty and I love that she made it for us!

(P.S. our house is 30 years old. Hence the copper door. ha!)

 Adorable snowman couple my cousin gave us a couple years ago! LOVE IT!

Love this little hat hanging from the opening into the kitchen
(Don't mind my beef stew makin' fiance!)

I unpacked all this random glass but hadn't put it up yet so my creative
fiance grabbed a couple ornaments and lights and voila! I think it's cute!

I love my Christmas kitchen towels!

Random little trees and cutie snowgirl on the fireplace

Our tree!

Now, my favorite ornaments!
We got engaged on our trip to San Francisco & Yosemite in '09 so of course ;)

 I have all kinds of cupcakes on the tree, this one's my fave!

Ronnie's favorite, of course.

Lots of random stuff on the mantle!

I need to buy my unborn child her own stocking!!

And yes, the cat and 2 dogs have their own :)

There's lot of other little random decor in our bathrooms and in our bedroom...but like I said, the house is 30 years old and honestly I'd rather not show off those areas until they're all spruced up! :p

Can you believe Christmas is almost here? And per usual, I'm not even done Christmas shopping! How about you? Hope you're having a great Thursday!!
