My House

Welcome to my house. Have a peek.
There aren't a lot of pictures, I took them stratigiclly so as to hide the fact that the house is "a little bit messy". Ahem.

There is no sneaking in or out the front door. The jingle bell wreath takes care of that.

These are the mittens that are never soggy and wet. They hang above one of the coat racks. One year when we had three kids, my mother-in-law bought these for our family and she has had to buy a new one for us every other year since. I love them. They are so fun to get out of the decoration box.

The tree. Notice how most of the ornaments are near the middle.

This is why. There are no needles left on the bottom branches.


My mom started a little tradition of buying snow globes and music boxes for the girls and tin soldiers and nutcrackers for the boys. I don't have room to display all of them at once so this year it's the boys' turn. I just love how they look with my new wall color.

This year I only decorated the living room. The only decoration in the kitchen is the sugary kind and they don't last long.
