Holidays in the Little Hiney Home

I woke up in the middle of the night last week and thought, this is our first round of holidays as a married couple in our own home!
holy smokes
 
I'm a fall freak, so of course my mind automatically went to the items I will need to decorate for fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and my birthday! I pulled up my panorama picture of our living room, and started marking where pumpkins would sit, where leaves would hang, and where our scarecrow would stand. THEN I realized that after Thanksgiving comes....... CHRISTMAS! I'm getting way ahead of myself I know, but I only get a first Christmas once (Lord willing!)
 
Here's my must have list for this year!
First, Fall:
 
 

I will definitely have to make one of these. Maybe out of fake pumpkins so we can keep it?
I have an adorable crystal jar for these
I cannot believe this is only $30! I would love to have this on our front door!
These guys are so cute! They would make a great bar decoration between our kitchen and our living room!
This was on my "hmm...maybe" list, but the more I look at it, it gets cuter and cuter!
This garland is adorable! I haven't been able to think of a place for it yet, though.

I would love to see this hanging right over our TV on that blank wall!
As much as I love doing appliques now, there is no way I could pull this off, so I'm completely okay with buying it! How cute!


Next, Christmas!!
I am in love with these stockings. Love love love. I had my heart set on Mr. & Mrs. Stockings, but it'll be so much easier to transition from Mr. & Mrs. to Daddy and Mommy someday if just our initial is on them!
I don't know when reindeer garland became a thing, but I couldn't help but fall in love with it! How adorable is this?!? It would be so cute hanging between the pictures in our gallery wall!
I somewhat like the idea of having a neutral tree skirt and sewing a fun border around it, slapping "The Hinners" on it and calling it a day! I will probably look for it a tad cheaper, though! 
Here is where we may enter world war 3. I have grown up with a shiny star on my tree, I don't know what has gone on his tree, though. It may cause some internal conflict, too, because I can't decide if I want to start new traditions or choose whose tradition we like more.
 
I think I want something simple on our door for Christmas. Something not distracting or overwhelming.
The last thing to do is decide on a color scheme for the tree! I really like these - they're really neutralish without being bland. Jackson grew up with colored lights and really bright ornaments, so we'll see how he likes these. ;)
