We got our Christmas decorations up last weekend! I'm just now blogging the photos because I was hit with some kind of plague this last week and barely had enough energy to make it through the work days. But I think I'm finally on the mend now, thank goodness. Hopefully I'll start feeling like myself again by Monday.

Christmas decorating is always my favorite. This year we put on Miracle on 34th Street and Tim made us our favorite crockpot soup while I decorated away. My favorite part of the whole process is the finishing touches. I love making sure every ornament is placed perfectly, the stockings are hung, and little extras like candles and pine cones are in their perfect place.

The best part about decorating the tree is going through all of the ornaments. So many of them hold sentimental memories from throughout the years. A few of my favorites are pictured below.

The glass ball was a gift to us from my mother-in-love(law) for our first Christmas as husband and wife. It has our wedding invitation inside!

The car ornament is part of Tim's collection. When he was growing up, him and his siblings each had a theme (his was cars) and every year they would receive a new ornament for their collection. Such a cute idea! My mom does something similar for us kids - she sends us snowflake ornaments every year. One of my favorites is pictured above on the right - the green glitter one deserves all the heart-eye emojis ;)

Tim's mom also gave us our first nativity set. We absolutely love it! It's the perfect size. And we can't forget about the stockings! I'm obsessed with this plaid pair. Although I'm pretty much obsessed with any and all things Christmas decoration-related ;)

How did you deck the halls this year? I want to see photos! Feel free to link me to your blog or social media channels below so I can check out your cute decorations.
