Howdy! For any of you stopping by to find out if Bobble Head Baby #3 is a boy or a girl, you’re going to have to wait just one more post. I promise, that’s what’s coming next, but in the mean time, I wanted to post pictures of our 2013 Christmas decorations. I know it’s a bit after the fact, but think of it as the entertaining previews before the gender reveal feature film begins.
Predictably, I went with a blue/white/silver color scheme in the dining room:
The tree featured our collection of family ornaments…
…while the console table was a display of family Christmas tree hunt photos through the years. (Have we been parents long enough that I can use the phrase “through the years”?)
I was like the decorating Tasmanian Devil this year, so I even did a little vignette on the kitchen table: 
And last, but certainly not least, the mantel, where I reused some of my homemade trees from last year, mixed in a sign made by a good friend of mine, and added a DIY burlap garland festooned with snowflakes:
So there you go. Christmas 2013 is officially a wrap. And now I’m off to bed, because I have to get up early for my ultrasound appointment!!!!! Oh the suspense!
My favorite is your dinning room table. I love those colors. those are the colors I used on my tree. Next is the console table. It’s a good thing to look back over the years.The Holy Family is always my high light of the season. Now I’m waiting for the ultra sound.
Thanks, Pearl! I love the colors in the dining room too. My absolute favorite colors. I wish my nativity wasn’t the slightly green color that it is. I never feel like I can use the blue on the mantle too, which is why it always ends up being just neutrals.
I’m excited for our new house, because I am going to ditch some of my old stuff and use some of your decorating tips! I love how light and bright everything looks. We use a lot of greenery, but I’m loving your whites and neutrals with that splash of blue! Beautiful!
A new house is exciting! I feel like each one demands a style of its own. Thanks for the nice comment, Jenny!
oh. and.
I can’t wait to find out if you’re having a girl or a boy! I know you’re hoping for a boy, so I hope for one for you, too! But most of all praying for another healthy gift from God!
Either one would be fun, but yes, we were crossing our fingers for a boy. :-)
