a very pretty christmas

for the last few christmases, i went crazy with color and candy decor...super fun, super bright...the kids loved it.  this year i decided to change it up a bit.  all neutral...gasp!   i LOVE it.  my kids do not.  well, really ellis.  she was very confused over the burlap around the base of the tree and basically disgusted by the burlap ribbon on the tree...calling it "bird poop".  she then asked where their stockings were.  i told her they had been ordered and were on the way.  i knew what was coming next..."what color is my new stocking?"  burlap.  then came the tears.  oops.

it's pretty right??  and they can go to bebe's for fun, crazy christmas :)
