My kids rooms and playroom are ready for Christmas!

Good evening friends, it's chilly here and raining, so glad to be inside tonight.  When we moved into this house I just knew it would be perfect for letting the kids have their own space to decorate and hang out with their friends.  This is directly above our family room and it's a huge room.  When I'm all done with it I'll give you another look at it again.  It's all about the function so my prims take 2nd stage.  Right now it's all about Christmas, I was inspired by Aunt Ruthie's mantel for this one.  It's all about red/white and the icy stuff. I put the some of the artificial snow in these canning jars (hopefully, my DH doesn't read this) he hates the stuff. LOL! Then I found some candy canes and red/white ornaments at HL and Lowe's.  I already had the nutcrackers.  I think this just looks like Christmas.  I love the colors, my favorite.  I was so happy to find this little candy cane tree on sale at Hobby Lobby for 50% off, gotta love that!

This tree is our artificial one, we'll be putting up the real one this weekend but my kids decorated it to their tastes and my son put the train together all my himself! He was so proud of himself.  My nativity is old, I've had it since I was a little girl and I loved playing with it every year.   My daughter and son love to play with it too.  My mom made me the Santa rug under the tree too.  They also have little trees in their rooms.

Mom, "Can you take my picture for your blog?"

"Yes, son I can!"

When the holidays are over hopefully we'll have her room done and I can show you what it looks like.  She has different tastes than me but that's ok.  It's bright pink and orange and she loves sparkly! 

I will be sharing more pics of the media room, dining room and master bedroom.  I'm still waiting to get my curtains, com on Fed Ex guy! I am really pleased with how our media room is turning out.  I cleaned and put away all my husbands CDs this weekend with my kids help. The theme for the room is winter wonderland with all my snowmen are in there to keep me company.  I'm so excited about using this room.  Hopefully we will get some furniture down there soon so we have a place to sit and watch our big screen TV, our first one! We're a little behind the times. 

Take care and stay warm!
