Christmas DECORATING.

Casey and I wanted to get our Christmas decorations out before we left for Thanksgiving in St. Louis. So last Monday afternoon we got busy.


Casey put up the lights on our little porch. He's a hunk.


This is our cute little Christmas tree.


We have a large collection of Christmas ornaments. Our tree isn't big enough to hold all of them!

My mom has kept a collection of ornaments for each of my siblings and I for years. There's quite a few in our collection that I made growing up ( ex. Christmas tree ornament). And for a bridal shower gift, I got a set of wedding Christmas ornaments. (Thank you Mrs. Chasteen!) They are so cute (see groom and heart ornament below). There's also a church and bride in the collection.


Our manger. Jesus is the reason for the season after all.

My grandparents decorated with these Christmas blocks when they were younger and they were handed down to me. My Grandpa made them.

Joy is my middle name so a lot of our decorations and ornaments say joy.



Give BIG LOVE.


Angels.



Christmas wouldn't be the same without Christmas Spode. My entire family has Spode and it has become a tradition.


Christmas lights make everything so festive.


The End.
