Deck the Entire House

Well, it's too late to turn back.  We've been published in the local newspapers as officially on the Holiday Tour of Homes. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!

Instead of keeping things simple because (1) we are incredibly busy at work, (2) we have a baby, (3) we have a Pre-schooler who goes to to school 30 minutes away, (4) we have a lot of square footage, (5) we were gone or had company the entire month of November, and (6) we have 4,003 Christmas parties to attend, we are going all out with the Christmas decorations.

Three words: THANK YOU, KELLEY! My friend, Kelley pitched in and helped me decorate, not to mention lent me a few [read: MANY] things.  Here are a few shots:

Living room: The Rustic

Dining room:  Santa Splendor 

Staircase: The Grand Entry

These stockings are all handmade heirlooms from my family.

Formal Living: Traditional Christmas

Foyer: Ho Ho Ho (excuse Cole's backpack)

and... The Tree

 These don't include the outside, which is adorned with wreaths and lights, any of the rooms upstairs, which all have mini Christmas trees, or the decorations scattered on bookshelves and tables throughout the house.

Bets on how long it takes before one of our boys knocks down a tree or sets the house on fire?!  ;)
