Happy Holidays




I have been feeling very productive lately...

I was able to hand make our Christmas cards this year and send them out in a timely manner (Harper is wearing one of Collin's old shirts which just melts my heart)...

The house was decorated and the tree went up the day after Thanksgiving.  




Harper hasn't even attempted to eat the gingerbread house he made...


We made some salt dough ornaments...


We took Harper to see Santa 3 times...
 We fit in our towns Christmas parade, and I even made it to Amy Meiers' Christmas party right afterwards!

We went sledding...


I captured this moment...



and my next plan is to take out our Christmas Wedgewood china set and get our table looking festive like last years that you can read about  here.


And yes, all of my Christmas shopping is done, and items have shipped to our relatives in the Va.

Have a very Merry Weekend folks!

    Oh, and that china looks so familiar. I wonder if my mom has it? Would you mind terribly looking to see what it's called? Thanks a million!!

    Hi Julie...the pattern is called Royal Garland by Wedgewood. I believe it is now discontinued. Here is a link I found online though that sells replacements...

    What a sweet picture of your little man with the dog!
    I love the way you incorporated the starfish into your tablescape. My dining room is "sea inspired" and I'm always trying to find a good mix of holiday decor and every day "sea" decor.
