Last night, we headed out to look at Christmas lights. It's always so
fun to drive around and peek into the windows of some of the largest
homes in our town.

Here's the typical car conversation while looking at lights...

Perry sees a house that has lights everywhere - windows, doors, even the
basketball goal. "Dad - let's put lights on our basketball goal next year, 'kay?"

Phil - "If you put blue lights up on your house, does that mean you are Jewish?"

Lori - "These houses are ginormous. What do these people do for a living?!"

I also love Christmas homes tours. I didn't go on any this year... just
ran out of time. But every year before this one, I would buy the
ticket, walk around in someone else's home and admire their Christmas
decorations, trying to figure out how I could make it look just as
lovely in my home. All the while asking myself "what do these people do
for a living?"

I. MUST. STOP.

Our home is our home and we love it. It will never be the largest or most
decorated home in the town, but it is our home and we have made it very
special for the three of us. Join me now as I take you around our home
for our Christmas tour.

Come in the front door... make yourself welcome.

Our dining room is just off to the left of our front door.













Our living room... (my comfort zone)

I like to display all my Christmas picture cards so each post in our living room is adorned with the holiday cards so that I can look at them daily.

Come on upstairs now to see Perry's Christmas tree. We put it up each year while he places all his ornaments on it. He collects different ornaments each year based on what his interests are. This year he added Lightning McQueen and Towmater ornaments, as well as a new Tony Stewart ornament and the one he made in Sunday School a couple weeks ago.





And no home is a home without the Chiefs fan Christmas Tree - located in our Chiefs rec room...

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.
