Comfort and Joy

My favorite holiday of the year is upon us, and what is even more special this year is Khaner and I are sharing the season with our sweet puppy. With our third Christmas in the house, we got the tree and house decorated in record time. I also found the steal of a lifetime with ginger jars from Home Goods yesterday. I was literally skipping to the register and hadn't even checked the price until the cashier rang me up. Tell me if you believe they were $14.99 each.

Nothing makes it feel like Christmas more than a fresh tree. I  have loved our tradition of collecting ornaments from all the places we travel to as a couple. As we start our family we plan to keep this tradition alive with seeing more places throughout the world.

I got these gorgeous gold bowls from Marshalls while in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago and went a bit hog wild with gold and silver pine cones and ornaments. Note the adorable Mr. and Mrs. cocktail glasses Kendall gave us!

Nutcrackers from Germany Khaner's parents gave him.

Love the gold combination.

My favorite wreath we hang.

My new Ginger jar finds from Home Goods - I styled them with some berries from Michaels.
