Its Ava's first Christmas and even though I'm pretty positive she won't remember a thing from this year, it just makes Christmas so much more special being able to share all of the Christmas joy with her!
Ava was mesmerized by her first Christmas tree!
and of course wanted to touch everything on the tree!
If you follow the Honeybee on FB or Twitter you've seen that we put our tree up last weekend! I still have a few more decorations for the house I hope to put up later this week!
I've been eyeing this bright red wreath from Target for awhile now and finally decided we NEEDED it for our Mantel. Our stockings are hung and were waiting for Ava's...her's is being specially made by her Memaw!
How about you ladies...Do you have all your Christmas decor up already?! I always try to put it up right after Thanksgiving so we can enjoy them as long as possible!
The house looks so festive! I love that you guys get to celebrate sweet Ava's first Christmas! I can't even imagine how much more fun it makes the entire holiday season. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures of Ava are priceless! You should frame them. God bless you and your family this Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove your christmas tree but your living room even more! So simple yet elegant and classy.

I love love love the pictures you took of Ava with the tree - it makes me so excited to one day have a baby of my own and to be able to share that feeling!
ReplyDeleteOur outside lights and wreath have been up for 2 weeks now but we plan on finishing all the indoor decor this weekend - we have 2 trees to put up and I hope to come up with some sort of mantle decor so your picture is a great inspiration!
The tree looks beautiful!

Your tree is so beautiful and classy? Did you go with a fresh tree or an artificial one? I'm torn because my family has always gotten fresh trees, but I'm worried about my LO eating trying to eat pine needles, and artificial trees always look perfect. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful decor! It's a family tradition to hang up the stockings and decorate the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving - so yes, everything is up at my home :)
ReplyDeleteus too Liz! Although my hubby was being lazy this year on Thanksgiving so we had a wait a couple days for him to pull everything out of the garage!
DeleteSo beautiful! And the picture of Ava reaching for the tree is just perfect. What a wonderful Christmas keepsake! I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant, and we are so excited to celebrate with our little one next year. xo!
ReplyDeleteawww how exciting! congrats!
DeleteI loooove everything about your style (home/clothes/etc.), so classy and stylish. This is totally random but can you do an updated hair style post??
ReplyDeletethank you so much xo Which specifics on hair care do you want to know...a certain way I style it or what products i use?
DeleteI'd love to know both but mostly how you get your soft curls/waves like in the IG pic of your new color! Thanksss :)
DeleteHow do you take pictures of the tree lights that well?! I tried forever and had the worst time ever.
ReplyDeleteoh no ;( I used a regular Nikon camera (def couldn't capture these with the trusty iPhone) I also didn't use a flash.
DeleteAww, so cute! She wants to snatch one of the ornaments right off the tree and I don't blame her lol. Your house looks beautiful!
ReplyDeletethanks Noelle!
DeleteAva looks mesmerized by your beautiful tree! Soooo cute!! That red wreath is absolutely gorgeous. It looks amazing hanging on your mantel. BTW - thank you sooo much for the tip about the lululemon gym pants with a prego belly.
ReplyDeleteyour so welcome hun...hope your feeling great!
DeleteBeautiful decor!
ReplyDeleteFirst Christmas Trees are so fun- the Parents of the Child I care for- opted to putting a "child gate" around the tree because there was no stopping him! :)

So sweet :) I have a 9 month old myself and we are setting our tree up tonight. Not putting it in the family room this year as we usually do becuase I KNOW she will find a way to eat something off the tree when I turn my back ;)
