Our Home at Christmas

I love seeing how everyone decorates during the holidays. So I thought I would share my home too. It is not fancy. Nothing is an original idea of mine. It's mostly sentimental. Here goes (starting with some of my favorite things) ~

These masterpieces sit on my mantel. They are Sophie's and Sam's handprint Santas. They did these when they were 2 and we used them as our Christmas cards that year. I love these!!

This is a nativity we purchased in Russia. I just love the colors and design.

Nearly every year I take my sweeties to make ornaments. Both these stars were painted were they were 2 also. I love unwrapping our ornaments and traveling down memory lane with Sophie and Sam. We talk about when they made them, who gave them to us, or where ornaments were purchased. Pretty much every ornament on our tree has some story behind it.

This angel was purchased in a small shop in Novokuznetsk.

Love my concrete nativity!! I got this at Christmas Village in Nashville. I just thought it was cool!

Now on to my house!!!

I saw the idea of decorating branches on several blogs and I thought it was different and easy!! The handprint plates are Cookies for Santa plates with my babies' 4 year old hand prints!
