2016 Christmas Tree Extravaganza

A look back at our 2016 Christmas Home Tour


We love decorating for Christmas!  When we do it, we go over the top you could say!  This year we drastically pared down the trees we put up.  This year we had a total of 16.  Each tree has its own theme.   We started decorating right after Halloween this year.  We hope you enjoy these creations as much as we did making them!  Merry Christmas everyone!

  1. Loved all you trees! Gorgeous, as usual. I usually can place each one in your house, but not since you remodeled. Where is the gingerbread tree? And are those brown cabinets in your kitchen?

    1. Hi Melody! The Gingerbread Man tree is in the new part of the kitchen. It's in a corner heading into the now Tennessee room! Good bye Bahama room, hello Tennessee! We moved the large white hutch into the new part of the kitchen. I'll have to photograph the remodel and blog about it! Thank you for your kind thoughts!

  2. The gingerbread tree is still up Melody! And the Tennessee room is still decorated too. And I had a Valentine party last night for kids and adults. I wish you could have been there!

  4. You are so very welcome. Soon we sincerely hope to see you! I sure miss our talks about Christmas! Lauren does have a Facebook page for her business as well. Right now she is concentrating on St. Patrick's Day with Easter to be posted in the next week. I know the decorations for Valentine's Day will be on the blog tonight late. We miss you and Gary!
