christmas tour 2012

this is hands down my favorite time of year.
and honestly, the decorations play a bigger role than i would like to admit.
i can't get enough white lights and red accents.
don't even get me started about sitting on the couch, with a lit tree, a cup of mocha hot chocolate with french vanilla creamer, and a warm fire.
it's the best.

 here's a little tour of our house at christmas.

my favorite spot in the house...

past christmas cards and the infamous stick reindeer...

my creepy nutcracker carolers

 beautiful outdoor decorations curtsey of fly boy

our first ornament together...from the DAFB 3rd squadron christmas party

a plane for fly boy

stockings, complete with our elf on the shelf 

(that charley is too young to care about, but fly boy and i enjoy hiding placing around the house)

fly boy really appreciates charley's help wrapping presents...

(notice the intricately wrapped stuffed animal, a hot pink manatee,  fly boy is working on)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
