December Fun

I am working on a post about all my favorite new products and toys I got for Christmas. The NOOKcolor is rocking my world! I am in love with it!


I also got some amazing products, and I can't wait to show them to you!


For now, we are out of town on vacation. Can you guess where we are?

Christmas at our Quirky House!

I took some pictures of some of our Christmas decorations this year. I am way into it after missing all the festivities last year! We have added some things, and hopefully will add a tree for the boys next year. I am thinking a tractor theme, but will have to see what all sale ornaments I find after Christmas. My photo quality is not great. It is dreary outside and the lighting is less than perfect. 

I forgot to go upstairs and take a pic of Calee's tree. Y'all don't tell her.
First up, our master bedroom. We have a turquoise/chocolate theme. I also have a remote on these trees and it it my most favorite thing ever!


 Dining room. Green and Brown theme. My mom's creation!


 Family/homemade tree---where I put all the gift ornaments from the kids and others. Sorry this pic is so dark.
 Christmas cards from family and friends!
 Kitchen window and picture frame tree. My favorite tree in the house.
 Our Camo stockings. A tribute to my husband!
 Living room tree. Westerny themed. Most ornaments from when I lived in Texas.
 Elf on a shelf!
