It's begining to look a lot like Christmas Home Tour

Hello and Welcome to our home. I am so glad to be joining in to Kimba's Open House Tour! It's awesome!!!! It's a wonderful way to tour some homes and great Christmas decorations and share a lil joy with all! So please do come in for a tour!

As you enter the front door you are greeted by our lil snowman friend and a jolly lil tune too!


Now that you are in, please do enjoy a piece of bread, served on my Christmas Cake Plate. It's a favorite of mine and from Gooseberry Patch! I do have several of their cake plates!


First off, I'd like for you to meet the girls favorite witner friend, his name is Mr Winter and he is Snow Cold! They love to hear him and watch his cheeks light up! Lil E is shaking his hand and introducing him to you, and Lil K is giving him her usual hugs and kisses!

Next we will enter to girls room! They have their very own Christmas tree! And Lil E picked it out. She asked last year for a pink tree, and we didn't get one, so this year, she got her wish! She is decorating the tree, since Lil K is a lil too small to hang ornaments. They love it! They love the twinkle of the lights and that it holds their ornaments on it! It has to be a favorite of mine!

The tree is all decorated and it topped with a Princess! This was Lil E's choice of a topper!

Now we are on to our room! Yes, we have a tree in there too! And we have a Christmas Comforter too! The girls have Christmas pillows for their bed as well, thanks to Mamaw (my mommy).

I love teddy bears, and I have always said my hubby is my teddy bear, so we have bears, and then red and green ornaments on our tree! I have it topped with a beautiful Gold Bow!

Now we are off to the kitchen, I love gingerbread men! They are a favorite of mine! And so you guessed it, I do have gingerbread men in there! We will be redoing our Kitchen after the first of the year, and I can't wait, as I keep some of my gingerbread collection up all the time! Please do see my small Gingerbread tree in the kitchen!

These 2 lil friens sit on top of my microwave by the Gooseberry Patch Cookbook collection. They are just too cute and 2 of my favorites.

Now we are back to the Living Room! I have so very much in there and even forgot to photo some things on the walls, please do forgive me!

This first tree is very special to me, and it sits atop a special chest. You see the chest is my old toy box, that was hand painted to be a hope chest and a wedding gift too! How awesome is that! Since Precious Moments is the theme painted on to it, I place my small Precious Moments tree on there too! Plus my new Precious Moments Nativity and My Silent Night Nativity, that plays Silent Night.

I love bird houses and I have this lil Bird House table by the front door, so I placed the Holy Family Figure here and a Snowman too! They sit between the regular bird houses that top the table.

Next we are going to my entertainment Center. At the top is our favorite and special Nativity. The cream and gold trimmed Nativity figures was a gift from a family friend! We think of them each and every time we put up the Nativity. And the Manger was homemade and put together by my inlaws and hubby Grandparents! So with our beautiful set up we are reminded of 3 great couples that have blessed us with forever gifts of love and the true meaning of Christmas!

Under the tv, has more bears, snowmen, and another Nativity. It's called the Children's Pagent. It's is just darliing! I will have to get a better picture for you to see.

Then on the side on the movie stand and speaker, they are adorens with more lil joys to treasure!

And on top of the entertainment center is lots of special pieces as well! All were gifts. So each time I am reminded to of these great people in my life.

These reindeer are so very special! They were my Grandmother's. She passed them on to my mother, who has passed them on to me. Grandmother has gone home to be with the Lord, but I tell you she is here with me all the time, and I love having something of hers to put out for many more years. Something simple that reminds me her! Both sets of the wooden friends, were hand painted by my mom! She is awesome and is always making us something so cute.

Then also in the living room, is my country tree! It is a skinny 4 ft tree that I set on my end table! And I love this tree, it is so country and charming!

Below the tree is a rustic snowman, a Wooden Angel, and beautiful votive holder!

Now onto the main tree in the living room. It really doesn't have a set theme! Everything goes! Hubby puts up the tree, and strings the lights! I'm so thankful he does! And he loves Christmas as much as I do, and he wants to string the lights, he prefers stringing his own lights in place of a pre-lit tree! It is super awesome!

Here's our tree, just after we completed it. The tree skirt is a homemade quilted red, white, and green skirt. I love this skirt so very much!

I thought I'd share some of our favorite ornaments with you as well!

You may thing this ornament is not much to look at, but let me tell you about it, please. This very ornament was made as a family! We poured paint into the clear blub and let is sit upside down and the paint swirlled together to make this. Each time we hang it, we are reminded of the love we have, the fun we had making it, and how blessed we are to have the opprotunity to make these memories with kids!

And Lil K is showing you one of her favorite ornaments. She loves this American Pride Snowman, just like her parents do! I'm so glad she has learned American Pride from our example!

Then I have this beauty, that reminds me of the ultimate Christmas gift, God gave us, his son, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! He paid the price for our sins. But his birth is just the very reason we celebrate CHRISTmas!

Then I have the In A Little Stable, showing the Birth of Jesus! This too is a true example of the Reason for the Season!

This pretty Angel is carring the message of Hope for all of us to see, we have hope of a better life here, if we allow Jesus to be our Light! And we have the promise of an Enteral Life in Heaven! She is a beauty!

And to a lil fun for us all, our favorite two mice, Mickey and Minnie!!!

These next ornaments are made out of Christmas Cards, so each and everyone that hangs on our trees, has many cards together to make each ornament! I love these, and I'm so thankful my mother in law shared with me how to make them too!

Here's our tree, all decorated and underneath you will find Christmas gifts. Each is wrapped with love, and I make the bows for every package. The bows are a family tradition, and must for under my tree! It always takes me to where my mom is! I love her so much, and I wish we lived closer, but we do get to be together for the Holidays, so I am thankful for that!

I want to thank you for taking the tour through our home! Hubby has completed the outside, and turned the lights on for you, so you have some Christmas Joy shining on you!

May each of you have a Merry Christmas filled with the Love of Christ.

Hugs and Blessings,
