I love the abundance of Christmas. It seems that a forest springs up inside the house!
I have used the same decorations for years... and now they feel like old friends.They are simple & natural, which is the way we like it. (Though next year, I have plans for some new and different things!) Our first Christmas without James (2006), our friends gave us a very special tree in his honor. I will post pictures of it soon. It is a cherished part of our Christmas. And hopefully, I can sort through the photos of Christmas Eve, Christmas morning, our parties and other fun events... maybe by Valentine's Day!

Your house and your Christmas decorations are just as exquisite as I would have guessed! Everything is so beautiful. That snow - wow!
And, yes, I am completely wiped out after Christmas! That's why it's taken me four days to post on my blog. I have done nothing - am still putting away dishes from Christmas Eve!
Looking forward to seeing your pictures of Christmas Day.
Oh my Erin!! Your house and decorations are incredibly lovely! You do have the touch, don't you and it looks like you had some beautiful snow too.
Hope your holidays are going well -- I'm sure it's difficult without your beloved James. Take care.

Merry Christmas Erin to your beautiful family! I just went through all your pictures in Flickr and made several "favorites". :)
You sure did kick it into high gear once you got going....everything is just beautiful! Love the deep reds and fresh greens and it's all so cozy!
Blessings to you in the New Year!
Your decorations are so beautiful! I was trying to make all the pictures bigger so I could see every detail. I love the touch of brown, the fresh greens, and the paper whites. It's all so lovely!
Thanks for taking the time to share your lovely home.
Erin,
I've been thinking of you and your family during this Christmas season. I pray you have peace in your hearts.
Your Christmas decorating and home are just beautiful. You can come over and decorate for me anytime!
Sending Christmas blessings your way.
Breathtaking Erin!!! Lovely! I am sitting here at my prents home thinking of that parchmaent color I picked out for the wall paint at my house...and looking at the color of yoru walls...and hoping I didn't make a mistake. I am going fairly dark for the wood floors...so I thought a lighter color on the walls. I am insane. I must be insane. I have wall color envy. Where do I get help for that??? Maybe in a taupe color padded room perhaps???
But I digress (darn that adult onset ADHD!)....your home is dreamy...just as I would suspect. I wish you the happiest of New Years!!!

Beautiful!
Looks so beautiful! I hope you had a wonderful celebration. It must been hard without James, yet there must be moments of joy as you celebrate the Savior who makes it possible to have James again. You are a wonderful woman.
Erin: So beautiful, just like you! I hope your season has been joyous! We love you all and miss you!
Very beautiful! Merry Christmas!
That does look beautiful. I can almost smell the forest and the spices! Hope you had a great Christmas:)
Absolutely love your Christmas decor. I love the natural greens and the shots with the snow...WoW!
Just beautiful! I love your Christmas decorations. I feel they do become old friends after a while. Hope 2009 is great!
Erin,
Your decorations look so beautiful...I love all the green! I really wish I would have ordered the pinecones when you posted about them awhile back, I will for sure now, they look fabulous on your mantle.
Cheers to a very Happy New Year!
Beautiful!!! Every last bit of it. I love your style.
Happy New Year!

P.S> Paperwhites are my favorite Chrsitmas flower.
Well, everything is beautiful and it makes me a bit sad that I bought an ugly fake tree! I love all of your 'real' decorations! Very Beautiful! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year!
