A Holiday With Heart Blog Tour

I’m so thrilled to be participating in Jen from With Heart’s – a home with heart blog tour. Jen is SO sweet and talented – be sure to stop by her blog!

If you’re stopping by SG Style, welcome! I’m so glad that you’re here! I adore Shavonda’s style 🙂

Thinking about Christmas traditions – we kept things fairly simple always revolving around family and a little around food (sticky buns every Christmas morning 🙂

We would drive from Illinois to South Carolina to visit my Grandparent’s home and then to Maryland to visit my Grandfather. A lot of driving, but what’s Christmas without seeing everyone??

My Grandparent’s house was decked to the halls – especially the tree. By far, my favorite ornament was this ballerina. It was attached to a revolving ball, so it spun in a circle – like she was twirling (I need to find one of those!) Several years she gave it to me, it’s been at my parent’s house ever since – while I was in school and moving around. This is the first year at my house – it’s definitely the star of the tree!
This is also our first year decorating our tall tree – it’s the perfect height for the corner! 

I’ve never been a huge holiday decorator, but I always decorate a tree.

Here’s our other 2015 tree – in my office.

Christmas 2014 

Christmas 2013

Also, one of my favorite new traditions is taking a photo of Annabelle around Christmas time.

Annabelle isn’t the biggest fan of getting her picture taken anymore – maybe Charlotte competing for attention will turn that around this year! Stay tuned for 2015 Annabelle and Charlotte photos!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! 🙂

Keep the tour going with the fabulous Jennifer from Style House Interiors!!
