Christmas Decor

So my cousin Paige had a cute idea on her blog.  She showed her Christmas ornaments and decorations that were her favorite, or had meaning.  So I'm going to share some of my favorites, because I love Christmas time especially the decorating. Now if only I had a house I would have more room to decorate.  There are only a few places in our apartment to put things.

Away in a Manger
Clark's mom gave this nativity to us for Christmas last year, and I love it!  Clark actually made me the manager/stable this year, and I think it looks exactly like the expensive one in the store.  He made mine for free!  I just need to paint it.
Let it Snow!
My great grandma made a bunch of snowflakes like this one (this actually isn't one she made, but I hope to inherit the ones my parents have).  My grandma has a few trees with a ton of snowflakes on it and I love it!  

Oh Christmas Tree
This is our tree!  We did a color theme of red, gold, & silver.  I love our tree, and thanks to Pier 1 imports I have a lot of ornaments!  And don't mind our tipping tree topper, we can't get the star to stand up straight.
Joy to the World
Clark's sister Angie and I made these "Joy" blocks, and I think they turned out pretty cute, considering how I'm not too crafty.  Also I love my little whimsical Santa!  

I have a lot more decorations, but the pictures just didn't look right.  
I'm just dreading putting them all away!

What a great start. Over the years you will keep refining what you put out at Christmas and the memories will get even better.

Your tree looks so FESTIVE with all the ornaments. I never got around to putting ornaments on mine this year. Opps! Less to take down I guess.
