Tour of Homes


The Nesting Place is hosting the Christmas Tour of Homes 2009! This year my goal was not to buy anything NEW. I was going to shop the house and use what I already had.
I did receive some snow people from my Great Aunt. These little carolers are just too cute. It was difficult to pass the rows of ornaments at Hobby Lobby but I know that Christmas isn't about buying another sparkly ornament. I let my girls choose the theme and decorate the tree. I got the job of stringing up the lights (thanks Hubby for keeping the spiked eggnog flowing). On a sad note, my oldest said "no birds or feathers." What! That's my staple but I did manage to sneak a few on the tree in the kitchen. My favorite decoration and best after Christmas score ($3 at Joann's), the big snowman chef. He makes me smile everytime I look at him.









The Advent Tree decorated by my youngest. As you can see the bottom of the tree is getting the most attention.

Merry Christmas!
