Christmas Tour

My sister 'lene took us on a Christmas home tour on her blog . I thought it was such a cute idea. So like all good sisters I thought I would follow her example.
Many, Many years ago my mom and 'lene made tree ornaments with our names on them.

They ALL hung on my mom's Christmas tree.

When she passed away we were given our families names.

I was one of the lucky ones. All of my children were born before their grandma passed away.2009 added two more names to our tree. Though I am not as talented as my mom and sister, I added our newest family names. I love Nativity sets. This is the first set I bought, it was in 1983, the same year Josh was born,

at a "Home Interiors" Party. It is still my favorite.The next two Nativities are Kira's...because she didn't know she was staying in Argentina,

I GET TO USE THEM!

She found both of them while on her mission.

This little set my sister-in-law gave me last year, we had it set up in my hospital room!

My mice are from Home Interior too (1983)

Yep, that was my Christmas that year. I was perfectly happy!

Gifts from friends always hold special spots We were given this on Itsey's first Christmas.

hand painted by my sister in law, Monica. It is always at the top of our Christmas tree

The High School's FFA always sells poinsettias...

I LOVE FRESH FLOWERS

Isn't he CUTE! This is his 2nd year he is from my dear blogging friend Linda.

This is the tree Kirk and I went and got in the mountains.

It is in my entryway.

I could not find anymore LITTLE candy canes...

I KNOW...I will have it finished today.

My entryway stays decorated from December to February with snowmen.

Most are gifts from friends

Well, that is about it for excitement....I hope you are still awake...

How about a tour of your Christmas decorations!
