P.S. I'm finally caught up with all of my holiday posts!! Yeah for me!! Now it's time to take all the decorations down. Three weeks into January and the Christmas decorations are still up...I know... it's really sad!! I hate taking them down, but it has to be done! My niece's birthday is coming up during the first weekend of February and I don't think there needs to be a Christmas at the Birthday party.
Our family's new Christmas ornament for this year! I think it fits very well!!
The outside
Closer up
Front door entry way
All lit up at night. I hope to add more lights every year! Thanks Grami and G-daddy for putting them up!!
Standing in the entry way looking straight ahead at the living room. To the left is the dining room and through there is the kitchen. I hope that all makes sense.

Standing in the entry hall looking at the study. Lots of work to do in there!
Master bedroom
Another shot of the master bedroom.
What we call the retreat! We watch videos and TV in here! It is right next to the master bedroom. That door that you see is a pocket door that connects to the master bedroom.

I love the glass cabinets doors in the kitchen!!
My desk area in the back hallway off the kitchen and close to the laundry room. I love having a place to myself to work. Kyle likes it too!!
The guest room/Grandparents room
The laundry room. We love having this storage and coat hooks as you walk in from the back door. The washer and dryer is on the other side of the coat rack and drawers.
Colsen's room upstairs
Colsen bed and reading area. I plan to paint the wall Colsen's bed is on, navy. The furniture is from my grandparents house. My mom used this furniture when she was a little girl.
On the other side of the room. The dresser also came from my grandparents.
The jack and jill bathroom that connects Colsen's room with the next one.
We call this Audrey's room when she comes to visit.
The playroom! Colsen's favorite place to play. This picture is taken standing in the media room.

Look at all those trucks!!
Puzzle and train area.
Reading area and wall of art. Thanks Lindsay for the art display idea.
The media room! We have had so much fun watching sporting events and playing Wii! This picture is taken from the back near the playroom.
This picture is taken from the front looking towards the back. The glass door that you see is the way down the back stairway that will put you in the kitchen.
Snack center.
Christmas Decorations
Our Christmas tree all lit up at night!! Love it!!
Another new ornament to hang on our tree.
Colsen's ornament for 2009. It was so hard to choose what to get for him, Elmo, Winnie the Pooh, trains, trucks, airplane. As you can see, we went with the plane. We thought it was too cute!!
Colsen's gift to us that he made at school!! Such a sweet gift!! We will be putting this up every year!!
I have started collecting nativity scenes. This one below is the new one in our house this year! Thanks Grami and G-daddy!! Colsen loves it and so do I!!
Last year's nativity scene given to me by my sweet husband!!
This nativity scene was giving to me by my parents a few years back!! I absolutely LOVE it!!!

Jen,
LOVE the house! The Christmas decorations make your house look so homey! However, I am experiencing a little bit of "playroom envy" to be completely honest! (laugh!)
Love Ya!
