christmas decorations :)

i so love decorating!!!!
this past weekend my hubby and i went to winnipeg where he let me pick up a few things to decorate for christmas :) yay!


this is my absolute favorite :)
a moose!!!!


isn't he a cutie?


i have him set in our window seal with some greenery that i picked up

i got the greenery at walmart, and it's so perfect...i just love the snow-dusted pinecones and the little red berries that run all through it


it was a 9 ft. piece so i even had enough to put in our other window :)


also, we have a lovely wreath on our front door that my baby picked up for me last week as part of our date night :) he was so so sweet :)
he had me go upstairs to our bedroom while he set up our date downstairs. he bought this wreath and some christmas lights to decorate, and served me a lovely chinese meal :)

this is above our tv

i don't remember where i picked up this little snowman candle, but i think it's a cutie too :)


now, i know this isn't exactly "christmasy" but it is a decoration!!! i saw it while we were shopping in winnipeg and loved it! it is so rich in color and texture, and it just makes me happy :) it was a really good price for an original painting so my baby said it could be an early christmas present for me!!! :) yay!

it's pained on canvas, but i'm not exactly sure what kind of paint was used...i'm guessing acrylic or oil...isn't the texture amazing??

and lastly, here is our lovely lake :) as you can see, people have been out on it already...not w/ vehicles yet, but w/ snow mobiles! and this morning i saw a man walking across it :)
