Celebrate the season...

Hey everyone! :)

Let's share Christmas decorations!

I will start with the super adorable mini Christmas Tree my sweet Husband sent me to work. I died of the cute. It came with lil ornaments and lights! I added a ribbon bow as my tree topper. hehe. It is a European Cypress Tree in case you are wondering.

This year we decided to *gasp* get a FAKE tree. I had been shopping around seeing what I liked and comparing prices. F has been out of town the past few weeks. Of course while he was out of town I found the tree I wanted! I was trying to consult him before my purchase but was unable to get a hold of him. I made an executive decision and bought it. YAY. Not like he would have told me no. I just wanted him to see the picture I sent him before I made the purchase. I got it in the car and home out of the car all by my lonesome. Go me! I only say that because F acts like I can't do anything by myself. I know I am petite but I can still do stuff. :) I assembled the tree the next day while F was still out of town but I waited for him to return to start actually decorating it.

Finished product below. I love it.

You can't really see it in the picture below but check out my tree skirt. I made it last year. I will try to take a better picture of it and add it later. From pinterest of course. See the tutorial here -> Ruffled Tree Skirt

& the mantle...

This past weekend my BFF and I hosted an Ornament Party at my mom's house. It was so fun. We invited a small number of women and had a potluck ornament exchange party. We are thinking we want to make this an annual party.

All the food was A-MA-ZING! I made 3 dishes but the one I want to highlight is bite size apple pies. OMG, they were to die for & so easy! You should definitely try them out.

Here I am at the ornament party :)
