Since it is Christmas Eve, I thought I would invite everyone to see my home!  I have been showing you tons of decorations that I have been making, but I wanted to show you how it all came together!  I love it!  This is the first year where I can say I truly LOVE all my holiday decorations!  It makes me so happy!

Welcome to my front entry! 

Here is a close up on my red table.  (I haven't shown you my red table...it was a great project I completed but haven't shown you yet.)

Red+Table+Close | Christmas Home Tour | 25 |
The snowmen I completed this year.  The glass blocks have Christmas lights in them and look amazing when lite (I made those last year).  (All the tutorials are on my blog!)

Red+Table | Christmas Home Tour | 26 |

Here's another shot of my front entry table.  Do you love the mirror?!?  $25 Craigslist find.  It was an absolute STEAL!  The thing ways a ton!  And if you notice in the mirror reflection, my stacking gift boxes!  (Tutorial is on my blog!)

Ornaments+in+Vases | Christmas Home Tour | 27 |
I love that by simply putting pretty ornaments in a vase with bow, you can instantly feel Christmas-y!

Stairs | Christmas Home Tour | 28 |
My staircase is sooooooo long.  And I don't have enough garland to go up them.  I also didn't want to spend that much money.  But I do have a ton of ribbon!  So I put ribbon up my stair railing.  It is so simple but I am happy with how it turned out. 
Gift+Decor | Christmas Home Tour | 29 |

I stlil love my stacking gift box decor!

Santa+Plate | Christmas Home Tour | 30 |
I made these Santa's Cookies plate and Santa's Milk mug last year.  I still love them and my daughter is excited to put them out on Christmas Eve!

Gingerbread+House | Christmas Home Tour | 31 |
Aren't you impressed with this gingerbread house?!?!  I will give credit where credit is due.  I didn't help too much with this.  My husband completed almost the entire house and tree by himself with the help of our 4 year old daughter.  I was really really good at open the bags of candy, cutting off the bottoms of the "trees" so they would stand, and supervising! 
My husband did a great job, didn't he?

Nativity | Christmas Home Tour | 32 |
Our main nativity is on top of my piano.  I love our nativity!
I put some more ornaments in these vases as well.  I really love how they look.

Tree | Christmas Home Tour | 33 |
My Christmas Tree.  Again, I need to give credit where credit is due.  I was so busy with my Nickelodeon stuff that my husband bought, and set the tree up all by himself.  Isn't he awesome!!

Ornament | Christmas Home Tour | 34 |
I love my red Pottery Barn ornaments.  (I got them on clearance several years for under a buck each and they are that super thick crackled glass!  Love them!)

Mantel | Christmas Home Tour | 35 |
My matel!  I wrapped my picture up like a gift...I think it adds a nice touch.

Noel | Christmas Home Tour | 36 |

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!

I participate in the link parties found here.
