in my real life, i am less organized. we tried to knock out a lot of the christmas decorations and duties..
we attempted to do a christmas card....easier said then done. most of them looked like this:
we did get one decent one w/ the family...but i will save that for later since i haven't sent my cards out yet! after that chaos, we decided we needed to go and get our christmas tree (don't you love tay's expression).
the thing i am most excited about is the garland- i went with real this year and it is sooooo worth the $25 i spent on 75 feet of garland. if you have this option, you should totally buy it! it is so pretty and so easy to use! today, we are putting the rest on the exterior of the house (which needs some help, who knows what the neighbors are saying about us!!).
we managed to decorate our tree and some of the house but all in all, i wanted to keep it simple this year. maybe it's because i am being lazy but i just don't have it in me to go all out. while we decorated, walker entertained himself...and yes, i know that when he is 16 and sees this picture he is going to kill me...but isn't it our duty as parents to do these kinds of things to our children :) hope y'all had a wonderful weekend!!

Everything looks lovely and yes its your duty as a parent to take lots of crazy photos of your kids! Who by the way are adorable. Have a happy day:)
i'm with you on the real garland. i buy real wreaths for the front doors of my parents' house every year and i still remember the first time my mom used real holly in our house. the smell is like a time machine, bringing me back to when i was a little girl.
Love your inspiration for the mantle!!! Greens, glam and glittery!
That little elf is pretty cute too!!!!
Oh yours kids are sooo cute Shannon and I feel you on the Christmas cards- it's near impossible to get a shot of all my kids.
the pic of walker is too adorable. Saw the feature and loved. Simple is good, at least that is what I keep telling myself :)
love the little elf!! the garlard is gorgeous; i will have to pick some up. christmas card pics are impossible. i leave mine to the professionals! :)
that pic of him with his tongue out is so cute.
The pictures of the kids are just PRECIOUS!

Oh my goodness! You kiddos are so gorgeous! And I love how you used the real garland around the mirror, adds such a nice touch and I bet it smells fantastic too!

Now all you need is a little snow.....
I can ship you some if you need, we got plenty!
Congrats on the Southern Flourish feature! Your kiddos are precious! I try to pretend the pictures where they won't look at the camera are intentional...if you look at my Christmas cards from the past 3 years, you will notice a theme with that!
Loved all the pictures. What a beautiful blog!
Wow, great!
And your little ones are adorable! At least you get them in the picture. My teen daughter simply refuses the 'silly picture cards' for Xmas!!!
Now what?!
Happy holidays!

So pretty! Congrats on your feature! On a side note, I am in love with the lamp on your table! Did you buy that in a shop (I have a feeling it's an antique, though)? Thanks!
Love the inspiration...Happy Tuesday!

I love the antique fan and Chinese dog bookends.
Wish I could use the real garlands, they are hard to find in Arizona.
congrats! that's awesome. and your little fan on that table is also awesome!
Such cute pics of your kids. Where did you get garland for so cheap? In San Diego, it's about $1.50 a foot :(
You have talent! Decorations look amazing! And your little elf is adoreable! Merry Christmas!
