Following the lead of Bethany (your getting to be a regular on my blog, and I can't get the code to work either), I'm participating in the Nester tour of homes...
So, Madalynn & I welcome you to our decked halls, and invite you in, we'll start a fire, give you some homemade cookies, and some hot cocoa, and wish you a Merry Christmas...
Sorry this picture is so fuzzy, but it's the little tree on our front porch that welcomes you...
Our Merry Christmas wreath...
I use ribbons w/ tiny clothespins to display our incoming Christmas cards...
I love this hutch, and try to change it seasonally... I've been looking for a big star to put on the top but haven't found one yet...
You can see Madalynn's gingerbread house on the top shelf...
On the bottom shelf I have a quilted table runner my grandmother made me years ago...
I love this nativity I got in Guatemala a couple years ago... I just think it's the sweetest...
I also have a collection of Longaberger Christmas baskets as my former employer gave us the Christmas basket every year...
I love this little plate... I bought it a few years ago for a Yankee Swap but I liked it so much I kept it & got something else for the swap...
Our tree at night...
During the day...
One of Madalynn's favorite ornaments... it was one I had as a little girl that I always loved too. I always had to make sure there was a light bulb directly in back of it to illuminate the dove. Some family friends made this for us, and I think it's made out of a tuna can...
Her other favorite, an animated Winnie The Pooh... this is our ONLY child ornament on the tree... I feel kind of bad about that, but I know those years are ahead...
These are the books Madalynn & I read each night before bed...
Our stockings hung by the chimney... I long to have a mantle.
Our sliders...
Snowflakes on our back deck...
I hope you enjoyed the tour... I have many ideas for next year already!! Merry Christmas from our house to yours...

Your house looks beautiful! The runner your Grandma made is gorgeous!
We love our nativity scene from Guatemala too!
I love the snowflakes on the deck, your home is lovely. GOD BLESS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
Terri Anne, you are too funny girlfriend!!! Your home looks absolutely beautiful and festive...just perfect! I can imagine all the wonderful memories you are creating for Madalynn there!
I'm so glad you linked up! :)
Pretty wreath! And that is the cutest little Guatemalan nativity set.
Terri your home looks wonderful. I barely got a tree up - purple lights and 5 kiddy ornaments on it. Sophia helped this year. Your nativity sets are gorgeous. I wish I would have gotten a nativity set when I was in Guatemala. I really should have done more shopping...
Anyway. I wish we could pop by for some hot chocolate and a holiday movie for the girls then one for the moms.
I like the way you display your cards and spotted mine in the mix. I received yours today - DARLING!
Merry Christmas.
