Boomama's Christmas Tour of Homes

Welcome!
Come on in and see what Christmas at the five dubs looks like...

Walking up to our front door


Our mantle and hearth (I had such a good time participating in the Nester's Garland Show and Tell last week. Check out this previous post for more mantle pictures.)


The main tree in our family room is decorated with shiny ornaments, white lights, sprigs of glittery red, lime green, and gold.


The kids' tree is in our foyer and is decorated with ornaments from mine and Kris' childhood, ornaments that have been given to my children, and ornaments they have made. I put colored lights on this tree and let them decorate away!


Also, in our foyer we have this large console table that I use to display our Fonatnini Nativity collection, three more whimsical wisemen and a precious moss angel!




Since I was little my grandmother has given me a Santa every year. It has made for a very enjoyable collection of many kinds of Santas. I have them displayed a bookcase in my dining room.


My dining table has a new twist this year. Like my mantle, my centerpiece has evolved for what seems like every year. This year I am trying the big balls hanging from a garland in our chandelier and two tall "stacks of ornaments" that I got on clearance after Christmas last year. The extra space on the dining table was super nice the night of the big party (time this picture was taken). I think I like it!


Our Nutcracker collection (my mom started this collection for our children)


This picture is of our buffet in the keeping room. I love this handprint angel plate done by my son last year. It is one of my absolute favorite pieces! This pencil tree is the one we are using as our Jesse Tree (i'll be posting about it real soon).


The next few pictures show a few places I display random Santas, Snowmen, Angels, Christmas Pillows, Christmas Books, etc. around our home










Hope you enjoyed your visit...come back soon!

Lovely home!

Gotta know where your baby's name comes from. My 9 year old is Hays Edmund; we call him Hays. It's my mother's maiden name. Just wondering.
