So..as promised..here's some pics of our upstairs all decked out for Christmas!

Hall/Jesses office space:
Note: sorry I am so not a good photographer...these pics are all dark and I don't know how to help them!;)

This bookcase has neede a coat of paint for FOREVER! Hopefully this winter I can catch up on painting upstairs!
**
**
Deer silhouette I drew and spray painted with glitter spray paint!

James' room:
I have changed some things up a bit in this room lately!
It's a winter wonderland in here thanks to his aunt Michelle's paper snowflakes!!

This is one of my very favorite finds..this vanity was in someone's GARBAGE pile! I just love it in this space. It replaced James changing table since he has outgrown it. It has little star trim carved in the wood. The lines just looked more masculine to me so i thought it would go perfect in his room!
**
**
All his vintage Christmas goodies!:)
**
**
Hehe. ^-^ here he is stuck in his bouncy horse.( bouncy horse I got him at a garage sale for $1)
**
**
**

More vintage toys

Jesse and I's room:

I would eventually like to do a picture collage over this secretary!

Last but not least 
My dressing room:
So, I know I already put some pics up of this but thought I'd add a couple more durning the day!:)

Dressing room Christmas decor and trimming the tree

It's totally starting to look like Christmas around here. I actually started decorating mid November, aside to the tree, but got slowed down after the tornado chaos. But... I have most of it done now except the tree trimming from outside. I thought I'd share just my dressing room today as that's the only pics I've taken so far!;) Jess and I both got the iPhone 5c on Black Friday. YAY! We got a buy one get one free with any upgrade. So we're pretty excited about that!!;)anyhooo I took these all in the evening since everything at Christmas time is better at night,IMO!:)
Twinkle lights on the closet!:)

You can see my very favorite pink Barbie tree in the corner!
