Christmas Tour

Last year I did Boo Mama's Christmas Tour of Homes. You can click there to go see what it is if you are interested. Tons of people participate, showing off their Christmas decorations. I love peeking into other people's houses so I love it. You can click here to see my tour from last year. Things are different this year. You can click on almost all of the pictures to see them bigger.

Not much outside. With Luke gone, the dead grass is still too high in spots, the flower bed looks bad, and no way would I climb to do lights. So the porch is all there is. Mom got me the sled when she came to visit. We saw it in a Christmas store and I loved it. Thanks Mom!

Front door wreath. Mom also did the bow for me and put on the candy canes.





Come inside....

Here is the fireplace.

The tree. This is not a good picture but I took about 100 and this is the best I got.

Here is my version of snow in Texas.

Trees on the coffee table. Also our picture album of the kids each year at Christmas.

The nativity that Luke got me last year for our anniversary. It stays out all year.

This is my Texas Santa that I found at Hobby Lobby. I love him.

And the dining room. Snowflakes hanging from the lights. And a small tree that has most of the kids' homemade ornaments.


I decided to put my Polish pottery ornaments on their own tree instead of letting them be lost on the big tree.

On to the kitchen. I went a little crazy in here this year. I decided to decorate the tops of the cabinets. Also we have a big candy theme.



Have a cookie!

My gingerbread tree is white this year and has candy too.

I really love the train cookie jar. Not keeping cookies inside though.



Merry Christmas!!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

I love your home especially your kitchen . I also love your tree with the polish stoneware ornaments on it. I have collected it for sevearal years, but just this year did I find the ornaments at Tuesday Morning and I jumped for Joy and did a small tree in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

I think it's pretty much impossible to get a GOOD picture of a Christmas tree. Maybe if you're a pro - - - which I am not.

Love your home.

Thanks for sharing.
