More Pictures of our Christmas Decorations!

I am loving our time together as a family this Christmas. Although we are empty nesters, all our kids live nearby, so we are getting together often.
We'll be doing our gift opening on Christmas Night, to accomodate everyone's schedule. Can't wait. I'm excited about every one's gifts! Can't wait to see everyone gathered around, opening their gifts, sharing laughter and the joy of the season!

Enjoy the pics. Don't forget to click on the pic to see the original larger size.





A New Coffee Nook in my Kitchen!

I guess "coffee station" would be a better word, since a nook probably requires seating.

I got a Keurig from my Church. Being a Pastor's wife has so many pros, that the cons are outweighed mightily. They love me and that means more to me than anything they could ever give me.

I wanted to set up a station just for the keurig and all the K-cups. Yummy Coffee in a few seconds!

Thank you to my Church Family!

Our "Antique Toy" Display on the Sofa Table


When I was a little girl, I always wanted a Mrs. Beasley Doll. (Pictured above) I knew someone who had one and when I would be at her house she would say, "You can look at her put don't pick her up." I really was sad that I couldn't hold Mrs. Beasley. How many of you remember Mrs. Beasley?
Hubby got her for me this year! He gave her to me early so that she could be a part of our Antique Toy Display.


These Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls were made by my mother, and I'm so glad to have them. They are a treasure to me.



This little monkey we purchased from an antique store. It is identical to the one my hubby had as a child.! He's sitting on a very old container of Lincoln Logs.

This Yellow Wagon is about 40 years old. BabyLove got it from ebay, because he had one just like it when he was a child. It was a Christmas present one year. He was very excited about getting it. It is in very great condition.

I need to take a picture of the Quilt it is all sitting on. It was made for me by my mother. It has a Raggedy Ann and Andy on it. So cute and such a great keepsake!

I hope you enjoyed my Antique Toy Display!
