Welcome to day four, and the final day, of my tour. Time to take the tour outside to show off the lights my fabulous husband froze to put up!
Here is our house on Fort Eustis. We put some white icicle lights on the roof. Also, this year I mixed some red and green strands together and some red and white strands together for the trees and the pole on the porch. I outlined the kitchen and living room windows on the inside with multi-colored lights. Then we put more multi-colored lights on the bushes. We did a little more than we did last year and I am happy that we did.
My Christmas garden flag, a good, old reindeer.
Here is the wreath on my front door. I made this a few years ago. I think next year it is going to need some touching up. It's been trough a couple moves and so some of its items are starting to fall out. But it still does the trick!
Well that's it for my tour! I hope that you enjoyed a glimpse inside our home for the holidays. Hope you liked what you saw and maybe got an idea or two!
Happy Holidays to everyone! And here's to a Happy, Healthy 2010!
Welcome to Day Three of my Tour. Today isn't much of a tour of my home as it is more of my Christmas Tree. I wanted to share some of my favorite ornaments on my tree.
This is just a view of my tree lit up at night.
Here is our tree during the day. I wrapped it in two different silver ribbons this year to go with my new silver tree topper. I am pretty happy at how my tree turned out this year. I remember changing it about this time last year!
This is my newest ornament this year. My family always exchanged ornaments and this was from my mom for this year. She gave it to me early while I was in TN so I could go ahead and put it on my tree.
I love this ornament. It is actually a bright pink with different brightly colored dots on it. I couldn't get a real good picture of it so you could tell the true color. I just really like this one because it is very different than most I have on my tree.
This was the ornament from my mom last year. Love it because it is so whimsical! There is actually another tree on the other side of the ornament as well. So cute!
What's a tree without any Santa ornaments?! Here is one of my favorite ones.
This ornament is from my sister a few years ago. It is actually made out of blown glass. So pretty and SUPER heavy! I am always nervous when I put this one on the tree!
Here is another ornament that is very different than the rest on my tree. It is so simple but so pretty!
This ornament was from my mom to symbolize our wedding. We got married in January and our colors were brown, aqua, and chartreuse green. It is hard to tell in this picture but it is the chartreuse color and of course the snowflake would be for the January winter!
But here are two pictures of my pinecones.
Here is part two of my Tour. This tour is focusing on my living room area. There are a ton of pictures.
Here is our Christmas tree all lit up. I am very happy at how my tree turned out this year.
Tree all lit up with the window lights in the background.
This is the tree during the day.
And the stockings were hung by above the tv with care! haha. So we don't have a fireplace and our whole house is open concept with every exterior wall, ALL windows so this is the only place that we can hang our stocking. But it looks pretty good still!
A closer view of the garland all decorated.
All lit up at night but this was before it was decorated. It just needed that little extra touch.
The decorations on the entertainment center.
My little grouping of trees with an Angel.
Glittered Noel under the tv.
What's Christmas without a reindeer?!
My little shelf in the corner of the living room.
Top shelf: Glittered candles, snowman, and vase with ornaments and glittered sticks.
Up close of the vase.
Second shelf: My stuff snowman Travis brought home from WY for me (I had a cute Santa to go with him but when Oscar was a puppy, he decided to make him a chew toy and chew up his face.) And a Moose.
Bottom shelf: The Snowmen shelf. Newest addition to the house this year, the big snowman. In the frame is an old card I received a few years ago. Thought it would be perfect framed and out during Christmas!
Last year I had this idea. I wanted to make some of the pillows on the couch look like presents. So I went out, bought white pillow cases and took some extra ribbon I had to tie like ribbon on a package. They aren't perfect but I like it and it just adds a little something to the furniture!

So this is the only Nativity set that I have. It is super little and I have it on one of my end tables in the living room but at least I have one! I really like it though and I hope to have a large set one day!
Snowman candle holder on the other end table.
The little tin basket that sits by the front door and where all the Christmas cards go that we receive.
Wire, glittered, Christmas tree by the front door. It gets glitter everywhere but it sure is pretty! This picture doesn't do it justice!
Well, that ends the tour of the living room area! I will add another post tomorrow of my Christmas tree and some of my favorite ornaments. And than my tour will conclude with the outdoor decorations! Stay tuned!!
