It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I finally got all my Christmas decorations up last week, but am just now getting around to posting some pictures. First of all, let me say that I did every bit myself, including carrying all this up from the basement, and the Christmas tree! (Ben would have done this, but I was ready to get started one night and Ben was at work):

After many days of doing a little here and there, it finally looks like Christmas in here!

Living Room

Reindeer Stocking Holder

Fleece blanket and Christmas pillow

First Floor Bathroom Mat

First Floor Bathroom Towels

Nativity (on the small table in the kitchen)

Kitchen Christmas Tree (a new decoration this year!)

Christmas tins (I have stuff like this on top of all the cabinets)

Christmas kitchen towels

Salt and Pepper Shakers (2 sets, but I keep them all together!)

China cabinet (I just added Christmas stuff, but really it needs to be organized...maybe I'll do that some other day when I get motivated)

Dining room table centerpiece

Biggest present ever!!

Let's see an upclose on who that present is for:

Dad, I'll give you a hint: I know how much you love giving, so really it is a present for me and Ben, and you get to put it down on the floors!! :)

Entry hall

Railing of second floor balcony

Mantle with Christmas village

I'm not sure which was more work, decorating all that or making this blog post!
