Holiday Nesting 2016

If I ever start a decorating blog, I think I'm going to call it 'The Perpetual Nester' as I enjoy nesting all the time, making my home comfortable and beautiful and clean and organized. It's just what I do. So in that spirit, here are this year's holiday nesting photos. Every year I love decorating for Christmas. This year I dragged my feet a little, but now that I'm done I love sitting back each evening and enjoying the soft glow of the Christmas lights. Cheesy? Perhaps, but I don't care. I really love Christmas. I love the soft glow of lights in my home and it really does remind me, as my mom always says every year, of the light of Christ in each of us. 

The basement with all the fun colored lights is the kids tree with home made ornaments and kids collectibles from over the years. It was fun having the girls help decorate this year. It's nice to see Amelia get just as excited about decorating the tree as I do. 

Upstairs I had fun decorating the piano this year with silver and Pewter. 

The view down the hall.

The view the other direction 

My main floor tree, with ornaments in silver and gold, and memories from all of the places we've visited, adding Monticello to our ornament list this year. 

Okay, last one I promise. 

So there you have it. This nester has officially nested for the holidays. We are enjoying the season and will post more soon about our festivities.
