Christmas Decorations!!

So I am really proud of my Christmas Decorations this year...mostly because this is the first year that we have a actual Christmas tree and not a decorated cactus!  I just wanted to share these pictures for those who will not make it over to see them!  Since we were married around Christmas time we used ornaments to decorate for our receptions.  We have a ton now!! We were able to fill our tree, fill like 6 vases or bowls with them, decorate a garland and a wreath...and we still have some left over!  Matt's mom has also been making several things for us over the last few months, so that has helped to decorated our home as well! 

Our Beautiful Tree!  the tree skirt was quilted by Matt's mom. 

Our wonderfully ghetto stockings that I stitched our names into with yarn :)  Notice also the kissing penguins, those are the two things that stand out to me :)

Advent calendar made by Matt's Mom.  We filled it with little treats and a scripture for each day. 

Wall hanging by Matt's mom, ornaments and mini tress from our wedding.

This is looking into our kitchen, if you couldn't tell...

Doesn't this just say, "Welcome to our beautiful home!" ? That is what we were going for!
