BooMama is once again hosting the Christmas Tour of Homes. Here are some pictures of our home all decked out with twinkles. First, some favorites of young children in our home. The carousel sings different Christmas songs and twirls around, and the Santas, of course, come apart to be stacked together.
Here are some sweet angels standing guard over the manger scene that I bought about a million years ago when I was an Avon lady.
Next, here’s my blogging spot this time of year. What could be better than blogging in the tree-lit corner surrounded by the peace that descends at the end of a busy day?
Here’s our very-full stairway railing –we have two new stockings this year — how very fun! And finally, the sweet people who enjoy this Christmas hoopla almost as much as I do.
New readers may also enjoy some of my other Christmas posts:
