Ang requested to see a little bit of our home.

My sister, Angela, gave us this Christmas quilt last year. In each of the 25 pockets we put a scripture about Christ and a little treat. We want to try as much as possible to teach our girls that Christmas time is about Christ and his birth (although, they have definitely picked up on the whole Santa and presents thing too).


My very talented sisters-in-law, Franci and Holly, made these awesome stockings for us last year - I just LOVE them!


Franci introduced me to a new addiction a few years ago - toll painting Christmas village houses. (This is a not-so-good view of the window display by our front door.) Franci and Holly also decorated the glass ornaments hanging in the window.


This is displaying more talent by our family: "The Parson's" sign was made by my sister-in-law Nissa-Lyn. My sister Angela made the engagement plaque below the sign.


Sorry Ang, this isn't a whole lot of our home, but with my expertise in decorating, the rest isn't much to look at! Besides, I'm still hoping that you can come visit early next year.

cute house, I love the Christmas decorations. Funny, this year I haven't put up any except an early Christmas present from Anneka. we need to at least get our tree up..we just haven't had time or motivation..but seeing your house is motivating.

oh yeah, I really like that quilt. It is very cute and looks so fun. I was just reading on someone's else's blog about advent calenders and things to do each day til Christmas..this is a good one.

Camile, I'm going to come with Ang when she flies out to see you! Your house looks great, it's been awhile since I've been there. I miss you and your little family and can't wait to see in a couple weeks. I Love you! Steph
