On the 7th day of Christmas.....A Holiday Home Tour

This is how we do Christmas!!!!  This year 6 Christmas Trees.....We have 7 but I only put up 6 of them this year...one in each room.   This is a long post, so keep scrolling.  :)  (Some of the pics aren't great because it was really dark in my house when I was taking them.....)

My room....I love my skinny tree.    Burlap and muted colors....love it.

 My mom made this ornament for me this year....it is quilted from fabric from my wedding dress.   I love it so much...

Bet you can't quess who this pink tree belongs to????  This tree screams Rheagan.  When we saw it in the store 3 years ago we had to have it.   Pink, pink, pink!!!!

 and her favorite ornament.....Beiber Fever!!!

This is the game room tree....Go Cubs!!!


A sweet little tree for our little sweetie....It is the girliest thing ever!!!  


The entry into the house....there is a matching tree on the other side of the hall  I just couldn't get the right angle.  Check out the cabinet I recently refinished....one of my favorite projects.


This is the playroom tree...It was Rheagan's first tree but it got the boot after we found the pink one.  We love it in the playroom with all the bright colors.  It fits perfectly.   I added the Tigger ornaments that I collected when I was in college.  They are our favorite.



And the Living room tree....It is new this year, we went with a larger 9 foot tree and it is so pretty!!!  Love my tree, need to do something else with the mantel next year.   Hopefully we will have the fireplace remodel finished before next Christmas.  





we put mostly red, white and silver ornaments on this tree.  We also put our special ornaments here too.  





One other thing that I do each year is put out our new and past Christmas photos.   I only put them up at Christmas so each year it is really special to see them again.   Here are a few.....






Told ya it was a long one.....one last thing.   Our Holiday Bucket List.   We've already crossed off several things and will hopefully get to the rest during our 2 week break.   Can't wait.  Merry Christmas peeps!!!

    Forgot to respond to your comment about the silhouette ornament. I have photoshop elements...nothing super fancy. I used the magnetic lasso tool (I think) to outline G's profile. Then I just filled it with black. Super easy!

To my sweet baby girl--can't believe you just turned 6. Where have these 6 years gone.   I look at you and I can’t believe what a an amazing kid you have become.  You seem so small at times and then you speak and the whole world turns to listen to what my little “big girl” has to say.  You are AMAZING.   You are so smart.  You have learned so much this year.   You can tie your shoes, you love gymnastics, you can read, you have been tested into the GT program at school, your teachers love you, your friends love you, and you are a great student.   We are so proud. I love how you pay attention to every little detail of everything.   You never cease to amaze me at how much you know about “everything”.     I love how good you are at gymnastics---You are just built for it.    You are strong and your coaches just can’t get enough of you.    I love how you always want yo...

In January last year I started a photo project called For the Love.....30 days of photos, 1 photo each day, all black and white.     I love all of the images I got and promised myself I would do them every January, every year.   I actually had an album made from last year's images.   I LOVE IT....  This January, I started out on my FTL project but only got about 4 days in before I decided it wasn't going to work....We had so much rain in January and in February that I had a really hard time getting images.   Plus, with daylight savings time and cloudy skies in the afternoon I had no chance of getting any good light for pictures once I got home from work.    So this year I am changing up my FTL project a little.   I am going to wait and start this project in June---when I am home and can really spend some time on it.  I think I will also mix in some color images.....haven't decided yet....guess we will see in June. Soooo, instead I...

So it's Thursday..... 1.Guess where I'm going tonight.......BRING IT ON!!!!!  I am so excited, Bring it on the Musical is at the Hobby Center and I'VE GOT TICKETS!   I know it's cheesy but for 1,  I love going to the theater, and 2,  I love anything and everything cheerleading---brings me back to my childhood!   2.  I am so sick of this rain---this gloomy weather makes me want to stay in bed.  I'm ready to see the sun--I've got Spring Fever.   I can't wait for warm weather, the beach, vacations, and spending time with the family.  Every year we vacation to the New Braunsfels with the inlaws, to Livingston with my parents, to the Ranch in Segno and then we plan our vacation--kid vacation, adult vacation we trade off every other summer.   This summer is an adult vacation---the kids are going with the grandparents and we are hitting a beach somewhere---I can't wait.  **although a little part of me is gonna miss disney world. ...
