Christmas Tour of Homes
Well, it's here, BooMama's Christmas Tour of Homes. Come in and I'll show you around a bit.
Welcome to my 1400+ s.f. home with 6 people wedged into it. Well, okay, one of the people is only 11 months old but we still feel a bit wedged!
This is the view from my front yard. I took the pictures at night so it's a little glowy/blurry.
(click on the pictures to see a larger view of them)
I'm including this picture of my reindeer (along with the half-lit, ugh!, tree) in order to report that the cute, little, baby reindeer was stolen a couple of nights ago. The kids were so bummed. I was too.
This cute welcome sign is across the living room from the front door.
Here's the view of the living room from the front door. Again, it's nighttime and I was trying for some nice ambiance. I think I just got blurry and glowy (or is that glowey?)
If you have toured several homes already, you may need to use the restroom. So, here ya go. My mom always put up Christmas lights in the bathroom so it doesn't seem right to me to leave mine unfestooned.
Okay. (Didja wash your hands?) Back to the living room to see the tree a little closer up. I bought a
Here's a close-up of an ornament that I made last week at a ladies night out with my daughters.
This is my nativity set. I love it. My sister, Junelle, got it for me. They are kids dressed up in costume. It's very cute.

Last, but not least, don't forget to have a snack. Try out the candy-covered pretzels the kids and I made today. Careful, they're addictive!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed yourself. Be sure to check out the rest of the Christmas Tour Of Homes over at BooMama's.

I concur--you are the first I've seen to offer a restroom! I almost put my bathroom handtowel, but decided against it. :)
However, you make me wanna go get some lights to string around my bathroom. What a fun idea!!
Blessings!!

Love the glowy look. Sad about your deer.
I think the ambience is perfect. So sorry about the baby deer. :(
And I would NEVER have thought to put lights in the bathroom! :)
I love your decorated bathroom! You have a lovely home, thank you for inviting me over. Merry Christmas.
Cute nativity!!! And I love all the lights.
Merry Christmas.
So fun to tour your home, and love how you presented it! Love the lights in the bathroom. (I just have Christmas candles.)
And thank you for your honesty...I strategically aimed my camera in a few rooms to avoid some messes, too!
I'm a homeschool mom, also! :) I have two little girls, 7 and 4.
This Christmas tour is such a great way to "meet" a few new people!
I'm going to bookmark you...:)
God bless!
