The only thing is, I don't think it's entirely accurate and that kind of bugs me. I know Christmas here last year didn't seem sad and pathetic. Not at all. It was our first Christmas in our new house! We were finally where we're supposed to be. We were living the dream!
I think I just mostly didn't do a very good job of documenting all the things that made the house feel special and personal and like it was our home for real. So I set out to do a bit better job of that this year, and I decided to let you in on it!
It'll be mostly pictures for this one!
I really just walked around the house for five minutes and snapped some pictures of things I like that make me happy and that didn't make it to the blog.
When you start with all your planning and decorating so early, you can start to feel Christmassed out around this time of year. I've been feeling lately that while I love it all, I'm ready for a break! I'm ready to have my normal everyday house back!
That's exactly the time to get out the camera and make sure I take a moment to appreciate everything before it's gone.
Thanks for joining me!

I like how you think! And I love the ornaments hung in the window with that wide open view. I bet it looks wonderful covered in snow! I live in the trees in the mountainous Pacific NW so am fascinated by the flatlands. I'd love to see snowy photos if and when you get some.
And I just realized those ornaments may be on the porch, not in a window. But they looked framed like they would be hanging in a window!
It feels so festive and happy. That pic of the greenery in the pitchers makes me want to pull out all my containers and fill them with branches right this second. NO. I'm DONE decorating! Don't tempt me!
Everything looks so sweet and cheerful...like you, I am just about Christmas'd out. I need to pep up!
So pretty!! It's the little things that make it really Christmas! Enjoy the last bit before the big day...it's going to be fun!
What great idea! I tend to overlook the most obvious things and forget about my favorites that make me smile!
I love all the elements you've used to make this house your home. Beautiful. Those 3 white pitchers are sweet.
I like your little things: the white pitchers filled with evergreens are my fav and so is that wreath - beautiful!
Cute, cute pictures around your home!

I love all your little personal touches :o)
What a great idea! I love "little things" since that is so much of what makes the holidays fun!
So many beautiful ideas! I love your white pitchers with greenery and your wreath! Thanks for sharing. I've pinned several of them. Merry Christmas!
Everything looks so pretty and very cheerful! I adore those red plates with the red Christmas Tree -- so, so cute!
