If you want to check out other homes check out The Nester...

Welcome to our home! It is our first Christmas here and it has been so much fun to decorate!

In our entryway

This is my favorite part of our Christmas decor! Can't wait to get a fire going soon!

I started collecting Christmas tree toppers last year and continued to add to it, along with a few of the glittery trees that are out this year!

Our family Christmas tree...We have a Red, Black, and Gold Christmas tree...It's a Texas Tech tree with other family ornaments. The year before we got married my husband bought the official Tech ornaments for each year we were at Tech and we have continued to collect them ever since then.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is to turn off all the lights in the house except those on the tree and sit in the living room drinking hot chocolate and listening ot Christmas music.

The reason for the season! Our Nativity scene

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Dining Room all ready for a holiday feast!

Our festive chandelier...an easy way to spice up your dining room with some extra decorative balls.

Dining room centerpiece...I tried to find and use some things we already had to incorporate in our holiday decor this year to save some money...Crystal and Christmas balls go great together!

A garland I got last year at Garden Ridge...The one on our mantle I bought at Hobby Lobby with only pine cones and then added the rest myself.

Texas Tech stockings in our study with our Tech diplomas!

A cute decoration I used in our kitchen. One of my student's mother's made it for me last Christmas...It's a brick painted like a snowman with a scarf and sock for a hat! How creative!
