After 11 years of marriage I decided that it was time for some new Christmas decorations.
It started when I found "Alaska Santa" at Kohl's. He was too perfect with his fur boots and snow shoes on his back. In honor of my Alaska boy, I had to have him.
Once I bought Alaska Santa I started looking at the other pieces of that collection. The wooden Christmas trees stole my heart, and the snowy owl lamp and the center piece were calling my name too. I brought them all home and set them up on the fireplace mantle. Perfection.
Once my mantle was looking all Alaska rustic adorable, I needed Christmas tree ornaments that would compliment it. I found a similar collection at Kohl's that had fur stockings, woodland creatures, and just cute woodsy crafts that were adorable and also could be handled by kids without breaking.
Seriously how precious are these snowmen? And no matter how many times Cam took them off the tree, he couldn't break them.
The girls were in love with the birdies, Especially the bird with the nest and eggs. Teya had a very hard time packing it away after Christmas.
Look at these owls! maybe I'm the only one dying over them but they are just so stinking cute!
Once I had the ornaments it was tree decorating time. Even this little man could be a part of it without destroying anything.
Of course he mostly just loved climbing the ladder. :)
One by one the ornaments found their places on the tree
I took a lot of pictures because I was a little excited. :)
Love them.
Daddy helped Brinley reach up high
and soon the masterpiece was finished!
We loved our cute woodsy kid friendly Christmas tree.
And we loved making special Christmas memories decorating it as a family.

LOVE the fun decorations! I love how it all ties together and is beautiful, but still kid friendly. I drool over the beautiful Christmas trees people have put up in their homes that are red and gold, but my kids love the kiddy ornaments and putting them up on the tree, so that is what we have done the last couple of years. You totally found a happy medium.
Also excited to see some new posts! I totally need to get caught up on my blog...
One of these days you'll have to show me how to take pictures of Christmas lights! All the pictures of your ornaments turned out awesome! So glad you splurged and got some new Christmas decor. It looked amazing in that front room!
