A Joyful Journey

Merry Christmas, Y'all

Welcome to our home. If you would like to meet our family, please go here. Thanks so much for stopping by this Christmas season. Jesus gives us so much to celebrate. I will warn you--I did not inherit much of a decorator gene, but I do enjoy the things I put out. I'm so glad Boomama decided to host again this year. I wasn't a blogger last year and wasn't able to participate. Without any further adieu--Here's a little peek:

Our Front Door

Our Mantle

(I want new stockings for the kids, but they insist that we must keep these. They have outgrown them though.)

My husband bought these geese for me in the Smoky Mountains this fall. They look so cute on my refrigerator.

I love my Old World Santas.

And finally,

Our Tree is very traditional with lots of Hallmark ornaments and other special memory ornaments. The sign at the top says, "Let It Snow"--something that almost never happens in our part of the country--much to my dismay! Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks so much for dropping by.

Here in Oregon we get so much rain and wind that it would be destroyed if I tried to do that because we really lack a porch overhang on our house.

Merry Christmas!

I also love the little trees by the door. I have always wanted to put topiaries by our door, but the little trees are so cute for Christmas!

Thanks for inviting us in!!

I haven't been here in so long...I think I lost your link somehow! Anyway, this tour was wonderful...loved the little trees on either side of your front door. And all your rooms looks so lovely!

I do remember you were a fellow home schooling mom, and see by your profile that your kids are attending private school this year...I'm sure that is a big change for all of you! But if God led your family in this direction, I know there are great things in store!
Blessings!

Shhh, I bought new stockings this year but the kids don't know yet! Didn't get them for the big ones though, we'll see how much fussing they do when they get home.
That video was too good! I enjoyed it.

I've checked out a few houses on the tour and this is so weird for me - because here, most people do the lounge if they're Christian and THAT's it! Nothing else. And then, it's really only the tree :)

I read every word of your Christmas letter. What a great family you have. I can't believe that your oldest was only 4 months old when you came to ROL for the first time. Now she is 15!!! I am so glad we have stayed in touch. Have a blessed Christmas. Linda & Jerry
