It's finally here! Today is the day for the Christmas tour of homes, sponsored by BooMama!
Welcome to my home and I hope you enjoy the decorations.
.
As you come up the front walk you will see these two small trees, lit up on either side of the door.
.
.
Step into the back entry. My sister Cheri gave me this cute snowman sign last year. If you look closely you will see it's personalized with our families names.
.
.
Why don't you stop in the kitchen and have a little treat? These are Sweet Treats. They are so good and easy to make. Don't they look cute? If you want the recipe, stop here at my recipe blog.

This is the dining room wall with a few Christmas accents. The little picture is actually a framed card.
.
.
Before we go into the living room you can see my card rack. It's so fun to receive cards!
.
.
No tour would be complete without one of Bob's carvings. He carved this little Santa a few years ago and my daughter, Laura had the reindeer attached to my birthday gift this year.
.
.
This is one of our prized decorations. It's a Nativity set that Laura made from clay when she was about 15. Do you see the sheep and even chickens?
.
.
Last, but not least is the tree.
I hope you enjoyed your visit here. There are lots more decorations to see. Stop over at Boomama and have a fun time!
