New Christmas Decor 2007

Thought I'd share a couple of my new Christmas decorations for this year:

1. Santa: I got this at Robert's Craft and had to hide it up high because Gabe kept dragging Santa around the house.




2. Counting Snowman: Another Robert's Craft find (and 50% off to boot!) I love that store.




3. Willow Tree Nativity: My sweet grandparents gave this to us for Christmas this year. I have had my eye on this for years now and I'm SO excited to start adding to it. This year we put it in our bedroom so Gabe wouldn't get into it. I kind of like having a reminder of the true meaning on Christmas in our room.




4. New Star Stocking Holders: We didn't have enough stocking holders for our new addition this year, so I picked up some new ones (and bought a couple of extra for the future - and no that is not an announcement!) They're rusty stars and match things on our tree really well.




5. Annual Photo Christmas Ornaments: When Gabe was born I started a tradition of making a photo ornament each year for the tree. Then someday I'll have at least a picture each year for our tree. I also make them for grandparents and great grandparents. Lots of fun.




6. Berry Candle Holder: Yet another Roberts deal




7. Rusty Star in Tree: I LOVED this star when I bought it a couple of months ago, but didnt' know what to do with it or where to put it (I have a lot of stars around our house already). But when we put the tree up I wished I had bought more - and put them throughout the tree. I know it's not 'cool' to decorate with just one....3's or 5's would have been better - but oh well.




8. Fisher Price Nativity: I actually bought this for Gabe last year, but it's one of my favorite things we put out. Gabe has wanted to get it out since before Halloween!
