It's the holiday season!
I love this time of year. It's so fun to see the joy on the little ones faces when they see Christmas lights and decorate trees and, of course, get all those presents! This is the first year we got a big, real tree in our living room since we've had our sweet boy, who is now 3! So, I decided to put to use the small 12" tree that we had been using in our years in New York in E's room.
Once I set up the tree, I thought it would be cute to add a few more accents to his room from items we already had around the house, including some of his own toys - so here they are!
E's grandma got him his very favorite Angry Bird Ornaments & they were the perfect size for his very own tree!
We got this cute little train in Gettysburg and although it's not on a track circling the tree, it still adds a bit of nostalgia.
On the other nightstand I put one of E's red trucks carrying a Christmas tree along with some "reindeer." So cute, but I really can't take credit for this - I got this idea from Sixty-Fifth Avenue blog, as I did the tree with snow and animals in the glass cloche below.
Sixty Fifth Avenue blog used reindeer, but I saw these cute polar bears at Michaels and thought they'd be perfect for the winter wonderland on E's dresser.
I used extra batting I had lying around for the white snow and got the pine tree at Michaels.
Another detail for E's dresser: using blocks to create a "Christmas" tree.
We made the reindeer feet last year from an idea I found on pinterest from Life In Motion blog.
E's sock monkey got a make-over with Santa's hat - so simple, yet E loves it!
And one last detail for the room - fresh pine tied to the foot of his bed.
We trimmed the tree and I couldn't just throw out the branches! So here they are, looking so festive and smelling so wonderful.
Merry Christmas!
