From Our House To Yours

Ah, the deadline draws nigh . . . thus I must post my Christmas tour for Heidi Jo’s Holiday Home Tour Extravaganza. Welcome to the sights and sounds of our Christmas decor. This is our entryway with our little lighted snowman.














Next is our Christmas tree. The gigantic gift in the back is for ME from David. Hmmmm, wonder what it could be?


















This is our stairway decorated exclusively by Ashley, who was way to cool to actually pose for the camera.


















These are the Christmas Carolers who stopped by Sunday night—wow, could they ever sing! Beautiful!














And lastly, is our fireplace mantle with four stockings hanging dutifully limp in anticipation of being stuffed to the brim on Christmas morn.


















You might notice the ears on the third one sticking out quite excessively. This is because if you squeeze one, this is what you get:



The rule at our house is his ear can be squeezed only once a day! Merry Christmas from our house to yours.

Your Christmas decorations are beautiful (as usual!) but I really love the kid pictures! The one of Jay and Cole on the stairway is too cute, and the video of Cole is just adorable! He is hilarious!

Alicia and I just sat and watched Cole dance three times in a row and we are cracking up. This was just great! The kid has a future in music for sure.

It's kinda weird to see your house without my daughter living in it...crazy! It definately look beautiful. The days of interns living there where not quite so lovely.

Gorgeous decor...very warm and inviting!

Also nice creativity with the "sound" addition. Did David teach Cole how to dance. :-)

Everything is so beautiful! It all looks amazing. I still have a ways to go in the decoration department, that and the unfolded laundry on the dining room table does diminish the effect ;-)

Let me know what you think of the book, when you have a chance to read it. It took me several weeks of mulling it over to process it all.
