The halls are decked! And Christmas parties start tomorrow for us! I’m so excited! I absolutely love this time of year, and it’s definitely my favorite to decorate the whole house with pretty little things. I hope you love this peek into our holiday home! I’m already getting sad thinking about taking down the decorations, but we still have a few weeks. ;)
The tree on the other hand, poor thing, is ALREADY dead, so we’re just living on a prayer and a dream with that one. Not sure how it happened, but come on, little guy. Only a couple more days… We can DO it! Ha!
And this is my holiday sign-off! I hope you have the best Christmas and are surrounded by your loved ones. Thank you all for your support throughout this entire year! I’ll be back next week with a fun giveaway to show our appreciation!! Love you all!

Very festive! :) We’ve had trouble with our trees drying out in the past but we really tried to follow the directions to a T the past couple years and it definitely helps! :) our tree farm advises cutting at least an inch off the stump when you get home and water it super often with hot water (I think that’s the key) so that the tree capillaries stay open to accepting water or something like that. But if the reservoir dries out even once it definitely seems like the tree won’t accept water anymore. Just thought I’d share since those tips really helped ours! Merry Christmas! :)

Okay, definitely taking that advice for next year’s tree!! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas, Kate!!

Ugh our tree died super fast too! A friend of ours says that this year is different because it’s been so warm? *shoulder shrug* My husband is a firm believer in real trees and not fake, and he was THIS CLOSE to going and getting a new one the other day. I had to talk him out of it! (He’s obsessed) Have a very Merry Christmas Katie! Thank you for sharing your family with all of us year after year.

Your home is so beautiful! We have yet to buy any sort of home decor due to my husband being military. We move too much! But this time next year, we should be in our long term home so I’m very excited to buy some gorgeous Christmas decor!! :)
