So this is Christmas :)

I have pretty much always loved Christmas. I love decorating. I love cooking. I love finding gifts for people I care about that I really think they will appreciate. And I especially love the family and friends time. Since I've been so busy lately, and neglected you all... I thought I would share a little bit of my Christmas decorating. Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate, and may you have a most wonderful New Years!

Ryan and I getting our tree at Three Tree Farm :)

Mostly decorated tree... can't see the lights with the flash :/

Now you can see the pretty LED lights!

Love my "warm wishes" ornament :)

Merry Christmas! We have some of Ryan's childhood ornaments on the tree!

Thank you Debbie for my traditional German Christmas pickle ornament ;)

Photo ornament the lovely Debbie made me :)

Our inital monogram ornaments! R, S, M, and Z for: Ryan, Shelby, Maia and Zahra (our kitties) Surrounded by my hand made ornaments and some I have gotten from my family.

My cute strawberry ornaments from Pier 1, and I tried to show off the cute silver icicles my mom bought us!

Ornaments I made out of our wedding invitations! Love them. I made a set of  4. 

Another angle of the ornaments I made.

A little bit of Gramma Louise is living on my tree. :)

 I do love birds, so these we only appropriate.

Gettin' fancy with my shots. ha.

My fab little owls and other ornaments. Also thought it was cute to stick a mitten over the end of the branch!

Spruced up my year round feather wreaths with some clip ins :)

The wreath I made last year! I still love the purple and green theme! (and my cute snowman hanger!)

Our little family's stockings <3 Mine and Ry's have our initials!

I had to use this little metal tree last year when I couldn't use a real one in the apt. So I used it this year to showcase some of my favorite ornaments!

And that is all my dears. Hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season!

Stay crafty my friends!
