Christmas Home Tour 2008

I really dropped the ball. I was so excited to participate in the Christmas Tour of Homes and then after my tea party...I just fell apart for a couple days. But I have had a couple days to rest and now I'm ready to carry on!

Our family room is the heart of our home. It is where we spend the most time and is where the toys are....
I love our mantle....this is were our Jim Shore Nativity lives and is my absolute favorite decoration. Every year we collect a new piece.


One of our favorite additions this year is our Advent Box. Every morning after breakfast, the kids' remind me that they get their Cannie!


I just love the vinyl cling that I bought this year and I'm going to leave it up year round.


Our tree...needs a lot of work but the kids keep taking the ornaments off. Maybe next year...


Another favorite this year...our Elves (Pincent and Poe) and our Santa book. We are also displaying favorite pictures from last Christmas.


Thanks for coming by!

  5. I loved those clings too! I have them bookmarked. I'm going to order some soon.
    Your tree is pretty just like that. It's so full, is it a real tree?

  6. Our tree is fake....I hate needles. I spray evergreen spray and use Yankee Candle Mistletoe candles to fake a real tree.

  7. I like your Santa Book. Very festive. I always save the cards and pictures I receive in a new photo album every year, but they sit on the bookshelf unnoticed. I should probably make them more noticeable.

    Is it snowing up there? It's snowing like CRAZY down here. I'm waiting for the youngest boy to wake up so I can go out and shovel. Ugh.
