Tis the Season........

I finally got around to taking pictures of the Christmas decorations I put up this year. Last year I got rid of a lot of stuff because my tastes have changed. Normally I am a creature of habit but when it comes to decorating my tastes change a lot. This year was all about Mesh Rolls. If you don't know what I'm talking about you probably don't live in the South. Of course I don't have any idea if you Northerners decorate with it or not but it's become the big thing down here. Sam's had the best price and the prettiest rolls. I got red and lime green to decorate my house with. I put it on the tree, the mantle and around my front door. I also decided to put it around the doors to the kids rooms just for fun. I'm sure we have Christmas tree farms around here some where but I have no idea where they are. We ended up getting our tree at Sam's this year. It's so much prettier in person all lit up!
Here are a few of my favorite ornaments.
Our entrance way.
Our mantle. I finally had our initials monogrammed on the stockings. Zachary kept asking which one was his.
The front door. It's much prettier in person. I have things tied into the mesh/ribbon.
This is a little Christmas tree by the front door. I don't know if you can tell that or not in this picture! :)
I forgot I put a little mesh in the dining room as well (above the china cabinet).
This is on the island in our kitchen. I don't have a lot of decorations in there yet. Hoping to hit some great sales after Christmas!!
Here is Addie's door. I chose different colors since she is such a little diva. :)
Here is Big Z's room.
I can't believe it's Christmas next week. I wish I could see my family this time of year. Hopefully next year we can make a trip to KS in December. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!

I wish you could do mine too! (Although, I'm sure Alexa would tear everything down within minutes of being up, but oh well!) LOL

I like the mesh rolls! I haven't seen them before but will definitely look for some in the after season sales. Do you reuse them year after year or do you buy new ones?

This is all very pretty. Wish I could see it in person, but the pictures are great!
