Christmas at the Wilson's

Hi!

Not all of you will be able to come and visit us this Christmas

So for those of you who we won't ...

Here is a glimpse of our house at Christmas time

And an extra special welcome if you are here from BooMama's

bloggy-Christmas-Tour-of-Homes!

Come on in!



Here is what sits just outside the door

My Grandpa's sled from when he was a boy

See that snow on the wreath...that's not just for looks...it's real





Now that your in, turn to your right,
down the hall is my little caroler girl serenading us with Christmas carols from the window

Under the window is my Great Grandma Harding's old singer treadle sewing machine

all ready for Christmas

At the end of the hall is the boys room

This is their tree (decorated by J7)
and the nutcracker (their favorite decoration)

This little tree used to sit on Great Grandma's sewing machine in my kitchen with kitchen ornaments on it-very cute-but that spot is now filled with Jason's schoolwork/homework desk (you will get a shot of that in all it's glory later) but the tree is bringing much pleasure in it's new location of the boys room.


Back in the living room now-
Here is a cute little frame with a picture of 3 cute kiddo's

(it says Santa's Sweetest Gift)

Here is my snowman collection and the stockings my Grandma made

my new hubby and I for our wedding TEN YEAR AGO!!!!
In the background you can see the glimpse of the fore mentioned homework/schoolwork desk.

Please don't stare.

My kitchen window...see all that white stuff outside? BRRRRR!




Here is the top of my entertainment center which is the display for my nativity. I love these pieces and there was a third piece that I never got and now it is no longer made.

Here is a close up for ya.

You put a tea light inside each piece and they are absolutely beautiful all lit up!

Here is my other nativity scene

(the one I bought when I was first married...ten years ago)

On the shelf my Grandpa made for me

See the words on the wall?

It says "Christmas it's the most wonderful time of the year"

It is stickers...not paint like my husband thought when he first came home after I had put them up. He thought I had painted the words on the wall so that I might hurry the living room painting process along...good idea...I should have thought of that!

My kids stockings (made by my Grandma)

Hanging on pegs on the shelf made by Grandpa....that lived in the house that jack built...oops got carried away there, sorry.

A full shot of our tree

(Also, please notice the twiggy, sparkly, thingies around the top of the tree, under the angel, because the angel deserved a little more bling I thought)

Princess5's new ornament from Gram
an Angel Princess

Some new additions to my tree this year-little birds on twigs with berries and pine cones

I think they are sweet---my mom, not so much

My oldest baby when he was in preschool

My newest ornament - fat Santa-cute but in a not too cute sorta way -I love him!

One of my favorites...precious moments "The Light of The World"

And Christmas is not complete

if your tree isn't adorned with a Hannah Montana ornament, right????

Remember earlier this summer when I showed you this picture of our wood pile?




well, here it is today...G-O-N-E

Hope you enjoyed your tour of our home.

Come back anytime!

But not tomorrow cause we are cutting wood. ugh.
