Holiday Tour of Homes

Welcome to our home! It has been below zero for the past several days and *windy*.

Our front door (hope the wreath doesn't blow away!)

In the entry way is our little church where we place our Christmas cards. We haven't received many yet, but I haven't sent ours out, so I guess I can't complain!

In the dining room...

The children decorated a gingerbread house again this year. The candies are slowly falling off as time goes by :).

I brought out my Christmas "quilt" square made of paper to decorate in the kitchen.

On top of the kitchen hutch.

A wreath for the kitchen. I took two rather anemic wreaths I had used in the past and gussied them up this year using the left-over ribbon from the wreath on the front door.

The mantle decorated a la "The Nester". After seeing all of the wonderful garlands from the "Garland Party", I added more berries, the candles on the mantle and moved the nativity to the center of the mantle.

I love the soft colors of this nativity set.

We have a little tree this year. (Story behind our mold problems and why most of our Christmas decorations remain in storage *here* and *here*.)We made gingerbread ornaments and a few with family pictures to add to our Precious Moments ornaments.

Awaiting Christmas morning.

On top of the piano.

Our family's traditional Christmas candy. This year our flavors were grape, strawberry, orange, and other fruit flavors. We usually make mint flavors, but we thought we'd try something different this year.
*Here* are the instructions (and pictures of us making it) for how to make your own.

Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
