I'll be home for Christmas!

It feels like Christmas at the Stephens house! We love Christmas and I love decorating for it. Here are a few photos of our decorations. What does your house look like for Christmas?


I had to post this pic of Roxy, I'm not sure she understands all these crazy decorations!


Our Mantle


The tree and such a great model standing next to it. The lighting in these pictures aren't great. I love the topper, its all red and white with pepermint sticks.


A close up shot of the mantle. I glittered the red trees. It was quite fun but very messy!

Here are a few of my favorite ornaments:

Mickey Mouse hat - from our trip to Disney World this summer


Derek's old ornament - isn't he cute?!


Gotta love Hello Kitty! Derek makes fun of me that I still like Hello Kitty but I don't care. The little girl inside of me just can't give her up!


We got this ornament in Hawaii on our honeymoon.


Have to have a Baylor ornament!


This is a swedish horse - means a lot to me but may not look that cute!

Gobble Gobble!

We had a great Thanksgiving! We spent this year with my family at my parents house. My parents, Brother Ryan, Sister Caroline, Aunt Melissa, Uncle David, Cousins Chris and Katie and my Grandparents were all there. And of course the doggies: Molly, Roxy and Gracie! It was a wonderful feast! Thanks Mom, you have outdone yourself once again!


Cute little turkeys made from oreos and candy!


The tablescape


Caroline, Cousin Katie, me


Ryan, Derek and Cousin Chris


We went to the Dickens Christmas on Saturday night in downtown Mckinney with our wonderful friends, Janet and Matt.



Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! I'm so excited to celebrate and enjoy this wonderful time of year! I'm going to post my Christmas decor next. Happy decorating!
