I worked so hard on our Christmas decorations, and wouldn’t
you know it…less than half a day after I put up all the trees, one of the
strands of lights went out on our bedroom tree. Sigh. I’ve fixed it (as much as
I’m going to fix it…I refused to totally take it all apart) and now I’m ready
to give you a tour of the rest of the house!
My favorite
Christmas picture, featuring the artwork of the talented Brent Vernon.
I love
this space in our dining room. The tree holds our ornaments with the names of
Jesus, and I just love how it all fits together with the new fireplace piece.
I
finally have a place to hang our stockings…with care, of course!
I have always
wanted a Christmas village, but I do not have the space for one, nor do I want
to sink a bunch of money into pieces. But I found this little village at
Walmart last week and bought a few of the pieces for our fireplace. Is it high
quality? No. Were the pieces $3.00 each? Yes. Did it tell the story of our
lives? YES.
A barn to
represent Ryan’s childhood on the farm. The sweet blue house that reminds me of
the dream B&B.
A
coffee shop, for obvious reasons. And a church, also for obvious reasons.
A
school house, because I love old school houses – and because my dad was a
teacher. Next to it is a candy shop, because I love candy – and my mom made it
every Christmas.
Our
dining room table makes me smile.
And I
love this little corner with the wreaths.
A few
little decorations for Ryan’s bathroom. Small but perfect.
Our
kitchen is not large enough to have its own tree, but I tried to brighten up
the corners and the island. I love all of it so much.
Lexi’s
room has a little tree, my Mom’s Thomas Kinkade B&B house, and a few other
little pretties that I made room for.
She
even got her own little bed decoration this year. She loves it.
Our room has a coastal-themed tree and some picture frames scattered around to honor our Christmases together.
And our
tree farm. I love our tree farm.
The whole
place just makes me smile with its coziness!!

So fun to "take a walk" around "The Shaffer Wonderland"!! It is beautiful and obviously took a lot of work. So worth it! Our tree is up and now to decorate it! :)
Oh it's so festive and warm and lovely!
