Not Again!!

Yes, this is the scene right now...another 2-3 inches of snow falling!!! Just when the last of the past snow storm was melting!! I am hoping that my poor hubby who just put in a 12 hour day can get home from Seattle!!
UPDATE: We now have SIX inches of snow...Jason did a 360 in his car in Seattle....decided to wait an hour for the Bremerton ferry instead of driving around...was going 5 mph coming home and spun out and ran into a side concrete wall (no damage done) to only get stuck (as usual) getting into our development. After shoveling his way with no success, a nice good Samaritan towed him into our court and he parked at the top of the hill. I spent the whole night shoveling our driveway and walkway so it won't all freeze or block us in....and in my husband's words, "I am AWESOME!" Hoping this stops soon!!

Christmas Home Tour

Faith and Family Live was doing a fun post to see what everyone puts up and decorates for the Christmas season....so I thought I would join in!!! Here are some of our favorites....

I love white Christmas lights and candles in the window....we have a tree in front of the house that looks like a Christmas tree that we put lights on...I made the two wreaths on either side of the garage and the big one above it. And yes...they are decorated with poinsettias just can't see in the dark!!
The front of the house
Love the garland on the porch and around the door. And finally figured out how to make the red bows!! And did you notice the poinsettias??
The place where I wish I had a mantle....and always nice with a fire glowing!!
The perfect place to put our Christmas cards, and the small ceramic nativity on top I have had since I was a little girl...
I made and decorated this tree the first year we were married...
Angel loves the mistletoe (and if you can't tell already I love poinsettias)
The girls new advent calendar...one my Mamasan had given us
Jason's baseball tree (he collects the Hallmark yearly collective ornaments)
I love the stair garland (again I add gold and red poinsettias and holly berries)
This is the most special....I had a Nativity scene IDENTICAL to this growing up that my PopPop made...when I got married I was so sad that I didn't have it around anymore...so my dear husband made an EXACT replica for us!! He painted and then I spent hours making the bushes, the mossy roof and the hay inside. We used an OFF lid to create the fire glow light. WE LOVE IT and this is where Angel loves to say her Angel of God prayer!!
Our tree with all the beautiful hand made ornaments from my Meme...thinking of adding some berry branches next year and maybe a red Angel on top!
Our Blessed Mother with the appropriate holiday background and beautiful Poinsettia candles that my mother-in-law got us from Princess House, so pretty when they are lit.
My grandparents hutch, my Mamasan always had one drawer open with flowers in it, so I have kept up that tradition as well!!
The table where we all gather to eat and enjoy company!
Please share yours!!!

Happy Birthday Megs!!
