After Thanksgiving our home goes from this:
More on those dining room pictures HERE.
(I just go pick up the trimmings they have cut off from people’s Christmas tree purchases at Home Depot and wrap a ribbon around them with wire and stick those boughs up there.)
(More on these silhouettes back HERE.)
There’s my Christmas banister.
And I’m pretty sure we’ll still have a fridge to hang our “Thankful Tree” on.
Our fridge goes from all that gratitude in November to making our hearts glow with love for friends and family that fill it up in December.
Speaking of cards, I may as well talk about our favorites this year since they’re part of our holiday decor.
Here’s the other side of the kitchen:
Some favorites:
How’s this for creative?
We better look at that one more close-up…
For reals. Funny.
Elle declared this one the “winner” of our mock contest we do every year right as soon as she opened it:
Love it.
I thought this picture was so pretty:
Love this one too.
…and this one:
I always love Rose Dall’s cards (our old neighbor from Virginia who is an amazing artist). I always wish I could blow hers up real big and put them on my walls.
I love all the ideas people come up with.
My sister-in-law is so creative she amazes me with what she comes up with each year.
Ok, back to the decorating dealio I got side-tracked from.
I hope that in our new house my brother will still come help decorate.

your home truly is gorgeous and I can certainly see why you will miss it but I no your new home will be even more gorgeous!
I sure do love this blog of yours and your an inspiration to me.
As a 1st time mother without my own mum around for advice and support I take real comfort from your posts.
Thank you xx
Wow! Everything looks so amazing. Your sister in law's card is so creative.
You do such a great job documenting your life with a flair of what's important. Hopefully it will ease some of the sadness when you move….where you'll continue to make those wonderful memories.
Awkward family card is THE BEST! Thanks for the laugh.
Ok, something totally off topic: Is that Christmas-decorating-brother of yours, married? I've got a super amazing young lady I'd love for him to meet! 🙂
You get so many cards!! They were all so pretty!
YOU HAVE SOOOOO MANY CARDS!!!!
Hmmm. Sad but glad huh? It's a beautiful house to leave! But lots more memories to make!
Your home is absolutely gorgeous, wow. I understand the mixed feelings about leaving. I moved from the home I lived in for 28 years in August and it was both the hardest and best thing I ever did. 🙂
In case you didn't know, Rose Dall does sell some prints. She sells some originals too. My daughter took art lessons from her in high school and then went to BYU as a painting major, so we are big fans.

I hope you find a piece that fits into your new house.
