THE FARMHOUSE Merry Christmas everyone!

It's a winter wonderland out there!  We have four inches of snow at the Farmhouse with even more forecasted before Christmas.  Needless to say, we're pretty excited for Christmas around here.  Settling down into our forever home has given some added weight to Christmas this year, and I'm looking forward to sharing Christmas Eve dinner with family, leaving carrots out for Santa's reindeer, baking way too many cookies, and creating lasting holiday traditions with our boys in our forever home.  So yeah, Christmas is feeling extra special this year!

Here are a few Christmas scenes from around the Farmhouse.  There is a tiny human pulling ornaments off Christmas trees in our home, so don't judge the tree:)

Happy holidays!  I'll be back in 2017 with a wrap up of 2016, but in the meantime, I'll be spending time with family, baking, and eating my weight in treats ;)

p.s. I'm sure I've said it before, but I love how these ladies (here and here) are using Flor tiles!  How awesome would that look in a boys room?!

p.p.s. At this point, I'm just hoping to have all my gifts here and wrapped by Christmas, but these are what I aspire to!  And in case you're late to the holiday decorating game this year, here's some great inspiration!

p.p.p.s. Have you seen all the old houses I've put on my Instagram Stories lately?  Well we're looking for an old fixer to renovate and sell in 2017 (!!!).  If you know of one in the Ellensburg or central/western Washington area, let me know!

p.p.p.p.s. Thanks for being here!  You guys keep me motivated to write and share our renovations and I wouldn't keep doing it without you!  I love all your comments and emails and just your presence here.  So truly, THANK YOU!!!
