Christmas in Dixie!

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️  IT SNOWED!!!!!!!  ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Last week Santa sent us an extra special early Christmas surprise. I have never seen our farmhouse in the snow and it was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Breathtaking! I woke up a little earlier than Baker and saw it for myself first. I just knew he'd be over the moon excited. I patiently waited for him to wake on his own and then I heard him squeal... he had looked out his bedroom window to discover IT WAS CHRISTMAS!!!!

Kinda. 😳😂

It took a lot of discussion/coercion/convincing to explain that it wasn't quite Christmas Day or time for presents just yet. But that we were going to get to play in the snow! And build snowmen! And make snow angels! And Sled!

The weatherman said we might get a little dusting but it snowed and snowed and SNOWED! All day and all night! We ended up with about 7+ inches. A very rare treat for us southerners! I snapped about a thousand photos and we played in the snow for three days. It felt like being inside our own snow globe. Our very own Christmas miracle!

Here are a few snapshots from our winter wonderland this season. Every year I use less and less store-bought decor and incorporate more handmade, vintage and heirloom Christmas pieces in our home. Makes the holiday extra special in our eyes!


Merry Christmas from Stillwater Farm!














Baker chopped his own tree right out of the backyard this year!




Christmas cozies and a cuppa cheer! ☕️
I used WiltPruf spray (you can find it on Amazon!) on all my live greenery this year and everything preserved so beautifully! It also helped save my topiaries during our big snow event. I'm definitely a believer!
The sweetest Christmas memories!
Only a few more sleeps until this room is covered in toys and filled with joy!

Baker decorated his own room this year! He always asks for "magic" in his room each holiday. He says his tree is the BEST nightlight ever!  



Daddy was at the fire hall for the first snowfall but got home in time to play before the snow melted!

Our winter wonderland!




 

Blurry because the camera was getting pelted by snowflakes but we take a yearly picture with pecan tree! Last year he was in a bathing suit eating a popsicle!

Deer tracks everywhere!!!





Santa made a special appearance at Columbiana FD!
