2008 Tour of Homes

Wecome to our home! I'm so glad you stopped by! This is my first year to participate in Boomama's Holiday Tour of Homes. Be sure to hop over to her place to see all the other homes participating in the tour.




These little figurines represent Parker and Claire

This is our Fontanini Nativity. It's probably my very favorite decoration.

Baby Jesus never arrives here until Christmas morning.


A glance at our Christmas tree. A few years ago, I replaced

our "fancy" tree with our family tree. It now just has

special ornaments that we love including the ornaments the

kids make and the ones we collect from vacations we take.

This is where some of the "fancy" ornaments moved.

Our stockings hang here

Santa's magic key to come in our house




Thanks to my Cookie Exchange friends, I have plenty of

cookies and candy to share. Help yourself!

Merry Christmas Y'all!

What Happens in Vegas...Goes on the Blog


Oh, I met some people while I was there!Look how tall!

These guys ~ we go way back!

I spent the last 5 days in Las Vegas on a girl's trip. We had so much fun seeing the sights and shows. We saw Phantom, "O" (cirque de soleil's water show), and Mamma Mia. They were all fabulous! I had a great time, but missed my family so much. It feels good to be home!
