Christmas with the Coles

I know this will come as a shock to many of you, but...CHRISTMAS IS MY MOST FAVORITE HOLIDAYYYYYY!!!!!! Sorry. I can't help my excitement. I wanted to share with you guys all of our Christmas stuff around the house...and yes I started putting up Christmas decorations right after Halloween. I take my time with the decorations. For example, it took me 3 days to get the tree like I wanted it. Michael loves Christmas, too. Probably not as much as me...but let's be real, I'm obnoxious about it. Thankfully, he lets me decorate however I want because he's awesome like that.

Many of my decorations were gifts that I got at a fabulous Christmas Shower that some sweet friends of mine had before I got married. Most, if not all, of the ornaments were given to us by my mom and Michael's mom. I even got to take some from when I was little...like my baby's first christmas one! I guess my mom decided that her tree had enough ornaments (and it does...it's on overload too!)

Alright enough chit chat. Here is Christmas in the Cole house:

We got a real tree and boy does it smell fabulous. Had to keep the ornaments off the bottom because a certain puppy likes to eat them. (That little rocking horse at the bottom is my baby's first Christmas ornament)

This was from the shower and is SO cute. I forgot about some of the gifts we got until I started putting the ornaments on the tree. I think mom gave us this one...but I could be wrong.

Another ornament from mom :)

This was one that Patti gave us...even Santa is a UGA fan!

You can't see it but the snow globe is a partridge and it says "A Partridge in a Pear tree"  (for those that don't know...my maiden name is Partridge so this is super special) The snowman lights up, but it didn't catch it in the photo.

Yay for easy DIY...told you guys I had a lot of black frames! Also, check out those ballin coasters! They match my Christmas China :)

Nativity scenes...and a snowman!

Window Decor! The frame in the middle is a (Christmas) recipe from Michael's grandmother. It was a gift from Michael's sister, Katy. She told me that it was his dad's favorite recipe. It stays up there year-round...and is especially awesome at Christmastime.

Christmas china! Plus the red accent plate :) And yes...we do eat off of it! It has snowflakes (in case you can't tell) so it's staying up until winter is over!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Holiday Season! We love you all!!!!
Merry Christmas from the Coles
