I read this girl Nettie's fun blog sometimes. She's having a Christmas open house. You post pictures of your house all decked out for the holidays and then link to it on her blog. Loads of fun! Despite the fact that it is 77 degrees here today, and we are wearing flipflops and eating popsicles, it kind of feels like Christmas inside our house. Here are some of our simple decorations. The fireplace, above.
Welcome to our humble abode.
The entry way
Christmas tree #1, the small tree with presents for friends underneath.
Neal's sister Martha started a Nativity collection for us when she gave us this Fontanini set as a wedding gift.
Last year, I added this modern-ish silver one to the collection.
This one's for the kids.
The bigger tree, complete with presents! Luckily, most of them are books (my kids won't read this), so they fit under the very low bottom branches! We just added the tinsel yesterday.
We added a little holiday touch to Audrey and Parker's room, too. The garland lights are pretty bright at night, but they love it! These are the big green curtains I made in October. Ginger, I remember you wanted to see a picture of them.Post some pictures of your holiday house, too! I'm always on the lookout for good decorating ideas, and you all have such good taste.

Your house is so lovely, Leslie. It looks very festive.
I was thinking these same thoughts when I was there last - you house is so festive and fun to be in, especially at Christmas time - and I'll be there again tomorrow - what luck!
your house looks very warm....like a place that would be very comfy to drink some hot chocolate and take a nap.
Picture perfect. I love the silver nativity.
Les your home is so comfy and cozy and your decorations are lovely. You are making good memories for those little ones.
Love you very much

What a beautiful Job! I can tell you have a very lovely, inviting home, even when you don't have Christmas decorations up! (I love the painting over the fireplace, the cherry drop leaf table, black and white photos of ancestors - and your millwork? Oh, My!)
Thank you for playing and inviting me for a visit!
