A Few Of My Favorite Things…

If you haven’t heard yet, Boomama is again hosting The Christmas Tour of Homes and this year I am participating, oh yes I am…. so let the festivities begin!

These are just a few of the ornaments on my Christmas tree. Let me tell you why they are my most favorite thing… THEY ARE PLASTIC! With tile floors in the living room, I quickly got over hearing the sound of glass ornaments crashing on the floor everytime Emma or the dog (or both) would decide to rearrange brush up against the tree. So off to Target I went and came home with classy silver and red ornaments. Now you may not think that “plastic” equals “classy” but anything that makes my life easier rates a ten on my classy list!

This is my entry way table. You would never believe that this was once my Kitchen table :) My dad sawed it in half and the other larger half is bolted to the dining room wall as a desk ;)

These are a few of my favorite things on my entry table. My most favorite thing is the angel holding up “hope”. :)

My Dining Room Armoire. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the lights to not do that in the picture!

This is what I call my “Angel Table”. My oldest daughter, Easton’s nick name is “angel” so it was only appropriate that her pictures went on the angel table too!

So from our house to yours, We pray you have a very memorable Christmas. Remember to make lots of memories and to keep Christ the center of Christmas…. It is all about Him after all!

    Plastic is great with kids and dogs in the house! We used to keep all soft ornaments on the lower branches when ours were little.

    I love the table — I’ve been needing something like that for just inside the door.

    Everything looks lovely!

    Oh Heather I love that your lights did that! They look like musical notes singing praise to God and all I could think of is how much worship means to you and how even your decorations worship the Lord Jesus!

    Merry Christmas ESPECIALLY (for)HEATHER!

    Because of Jesus, Bobbie

    Everything looks so pretty! I like the lights on your armoire. The squiggles look like candles!

  43. Carrie says:

    Oooooooh I need to get some plastic ornaments. My fur children hockey them around the living room (hardwood floors) in the middle of the night. It ain’t pretty in the morning. And then I lost another one tonight when one of my piano students swung her coat around and knocked it off. Oh well. What can ya do?
    Love your pics!
    God bless :)

  44. LOVE that sawed-off table!!! how clever!

  45. Very beautiful decorations! I love the idea of the plastic ornaments – might have to steal that one for next year if our cats are still as playful with the tree! :)

  46. Very pretty! Thanks for having us over. Merry Christmas!

  47. Mark says:

    Thank you for the pictures, but much more importantly – thank you for sharing your experience – the good, the tough, the Godly! Like you and your family, I hope (and know) this will be a Christmas different than some of the past – one FILLED with of hope, grace, thanks, and mostly one of wonder about the gift we can barely understand and clearly do not deserve – not one about us, but one about Christ’s and our Father’s love for us.

    I struggle as my dad fights against bladder and bone cancer, with the most recent feedback on this Thursday not good, when we all expected a positive report. All I can do is say if this is God’s will – so be it – it is all in his Hands – no better place for it to be. I struggle, my earthly dad fights, my Father maintains the perfect path – I believe, I trust Him, but I struggle…even though I realize I will not and can not make a real difference in the outcome, other than to accept whatever comes and give the unconditional love that has been given to me.

    Thank you Heather for sharing – I realize it has probably not been easy for you, but you are a blessing to me , and many I am sure. God bless you, your family, and all that read your blog on this upcoming celebration of a gift beyond all gifts. Mark
