From our home to yours….
(do you love how I cropped it to hide all the crap on the bar?)
Wyatt telling y’all, “Merry Christmas”
our day-to-day dining room is obviously nothing like this:
In line to visit Santa yesterday. I’m gonna dress them alike for as long as I can.
This picture was all I needed for Christmas. Love it so much it hurts.
Next up, some things I may or may not get accomplished in the next 48 hours. (Okay, we both know I’m not, but I am a dreamer.)
I’ve got some of this paper downstairs. I really want to do this!!
with the same paper…a fun kids’ table.
string up our Christmas cards
sort and count out Rudolph’s food
I’ve got the open shelving…now I just need the wreaths.
the soundtrack in our home, She & Him Christmas
love these party cup lights!!
I’ve got the vase and the ornaments…just need to collect some branches.
get angel wings for our dining room
hang an assortment of simple wreaths in the living room
We are stealing this idea. Chris is wrapping the boys’ rooms with crepe paper so they will bust through Christmas morning!
darling advent idea
Would it take me forever to make this runner for our Christmas table? I am intending to try. The entire family (both sides!) is coming here.
wreath over our entry mirror (I will definitely do this!)
Here are some things I’m planning to cook…
For the boys Christmas morning:
Image Credit for strawberries & bananas
no-bake graham cracker dessert-yum.
And for after dinner, our chocolate “Happy Birthday, Jesus” cake. A tradition my family has been doing over three decades.
If I had a Christmas list (which I don’t), these would be on it:
We love soup–and this creation chops your food and cooks it! Love that. Cuisinart.
a new striped bath mat from Anthro. There are just some things that need replacing every two years.
Victorian Trading Co.
I really want this lucite and nautical rope side table, too.
And for Chris:
Pendleton iPad case (he loves wool)
red suede platform wedges from Free People
Here are some outfits I am dreaming of wearing this Christmas, and possibly even New Year’s Eve…
obsessed with the all-white and red lips. Truly.
classicly casual
dreamy
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you. Thank you for reading.

Wow! Amazing post! Must have taken days!
OK first of all I was cracking up on how you are hiding “crap on the bar.”
So funny! Love the Santa pic and the kids table idea and the hanging of the cards! Such a great idea. Totally using that, thanks!
Buon Natale!!!
Your boys are just toooooo cute, and yes dress them alike as long as you can……Merry Christmas Julie!!!!!! May your new year be even better!!!

Merry, merry Christmas to you and your sweet family, Julie!!
Thanks, this posting was my Christmas Gift:-)
Merry Happy Christmas and, if possible, even more successful New Year!
Loved this post – I can’t wait to make the snowman pancakes and banana/strawberry pancakes for my girls! Thanks for sharing all of your talent with your readers – your blog is one of my favorite reads! Happy Holidays!
I love how brave you are for posting the magazine shot next to the the everyday shot and the photo of your boys & Santa is too good – Santa looks like he takes his job very seriously and doesn’t shave all year. Happy New Year.
The picture of the Strawberry and Banana Candy Cane belongs to me. I would appreciate a link back to my original post, as my intellectual property : http://www.makedoandfriend.com/2011/12/what-kiddos-ate-for-christmas_20.html
sure thing.
It seems that the Red Team made a good decision pciikng Roshon, but now since that is done, the other teams will be strengthening their defenses. In the big Wash-Up game, the Yellow Team was ahead of the red team by a longshot. That same thing will probably be happening more and more as the games go on. Also, I think that the Red Team might have picked Roshon because he dominated in the High Energy dance game, but there will probably not be any more dancing games. They didn\’t know any of his other strengths, which could be a bad sign and would slow the team down. So debating if Roshon would be the perfect choice, I don\’t know. We\’ll have to see if the dancer has enough strength.
