Christmas

2011 is hours away!

I figured I should get some of our Christmas pictures up before the New Year.

Forget the photo narration. Who needs it? If pictures are supposed to be worth a thousand words, this post has about 34,000 words in it without me typing a single letter =)

You may not know who is in the picture, where it was taken, or just exactly what(?!) was going on in each photo, but they are all reminders to me of family I love so dearly in moments I will cherish forever.

Our Christmas was absolute perfection – snow and all – and I’m pretty sure it was a Christmas that will stand out in our memories as just a pinch more special than the others. ♥

Merry Christmas from the Roberts and some weird guy…

 

This was our first year EVER to send out Christmas cards.

While we didn’t have any actual nice pictures to send out together, we did have this goofy “wintery” picture from our time at Rockefeller skating rink in New York this past November:

That’s the random, crazy old guy that was boogying down the whole night on the ice with everyone laughing and staring – Nick just had to have our picture taken with him and somehow I got talked into doing this pose…

 

There wasn’t a single other photo we agreed on for the card besides this one?!

We went with it!

We’re hoping you have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Much love,

♥Nick and Stephanie♥

Christmas Home Tour 2010

 

This year’s decor is not extremely different from last year’s, but there are a few subtle touches I’m really kinda’ excited about.

 

First, my little vignette. I don’t know that I’ve ever called anything a vignette before, but I believe this qualifies as one, so there ya go:

IMG_6301 

 

It incorporates a lot of the things I love: pinecones, gorgeous ribbon candy, my favorite lamps {from Goodwill!}, apothecary jars, antique ornaments from Nick’s grandmother on top of her antique table…

IMG_6292 

 

…and the gumdrop balls I made! I’ll have to do a little tutorial on these later, though something tells me you smarties could figure this simple craft out on you own ;)

This pup just can’t get enough attention. Normally, if I’m trying to take a picture of him, he’s running away – but try to take pictures of something else and ignore him – oh nooooooo… baby needs his attention and will stand perfectly still for a photo op.  ♥ him!

I showed you my wreath and how I made it a couple weeks ago, but I had to include it in the home tour again.

Our BIG tree.

I finally got my blue ribbon mesh I’ve been searching for this year!

I forgot to take a full shot of the living room, so here’s one from last year that’s pretty similar:

 

The peppermint themed dining room:

Post coming on this little peppermint topiary I made this year too.

I love it!

Anyone remember the scuffle I had with Nick over these hanging ornaments last year?? Good times… =)

Hendrix’s tree:

His sweet little doggie ornaments:

The sports themed tree in the mancave/theater room/basement.

More antiques from Nick’s precious grandmother – a nutcracker collection!

Our little village {Nick’s mom adds a new piece to it every year} and the lighted painting I made above it!

IMG_6346

 

My goal is to make a new painting for each holiday/season in the next year and to switch them out constantly above this fireplace in the basement – we’ll see how that goes!

And just a few more pictures because everything looks different at night ;)
