I decided to bring out everything I own Christmas related this year. I went with a friend on a Christmas tour of homes in November, and I came home very inspired and motivated. I just want to share some of our Christmas cheer with you. The above photo I named my "Martha Stewart" Christmas tree, because it has beautiful glitter Martha Stewart ornaments. It was in our bedroom. I was so excited this year about having a Christmas tree in every room - good thing we have a little house!
This cute little tree was in Hannah's room sitting on a baby-doll table. 
My mantle was decorated with greenery and berries. I just love berries at Christmas time. 
Yes, this is Sarah's Christmas tree in her bedroom. She decorated it along with a little help from Daddy. She called it her "Fancy Nancy" Christmas tree.
I decorated the chandelier in the playroom (used to be the dining room before kids) with greenery, berries, and spirals. I am not sure what to call the spirals, but they spiral, so I'll call them spirals. My mother would know what to call them. :) I look forward to painting the chandelier when the weather warms up a little. If you have any tips on spray painting brass, please let me know. I am not a fan of brass, so it's got to go.
This was the playroom/Chick-fil-a tree, which was completely decorated by Sarah.
Before Mark and I were married, I started collecting this snow village. I finally found a place to display it this year. 
This was my cookie-cutter Christmas tree in the kitchen area. 
I decorated the kitchen light fixture with greenery, berries, and spirals. It looked so warm and inviting. I really want to spray paint this one too. I'll see how the chandelier goes first before I tackle this one.
Our sweet girls this Christmas, Sarah (3 1/2 years old) and Hannah (5 1/2 months old). I like to buy them matching pajamas for Christmas. They will be 20 years old asking me, "Do we really have to wear these matching pj's, mother??" 
Sarah was in her first singing performance at church this year. She was among about 50 other kids singing the song, "The Offering." She is standing with her friend, Paige. My mother made this adorable dress for her, and I found these precious tights on-line. Both sets of grandparents came to see her debut, as well as, her Aunt Leslie. Thank you so much for making her day extra special.As I look back at this year, I can't help but give God all of the glory. Last year at this time Mark was on the mend from having mono, I was newly pregnant and sick, and we were deciding to take our house off of the market. Wow, this year has been a true testament of God's provision and faithfulness. HE has continued to provide for our needs, HE blessed us with a beautiful and healthy baby girl, and HE has given us contentment and patience to rely on HIS timing. We are so very grateful for this past years happenings, and we look forward with optimism in the new year.
