Christmas Tour of Homes



Welcome to Boomama's 2nd Annual Christmas Tour of Homes. I'm so excited. I have never participated but really wanted to this year. So come on in and make yourself at home. I made some Wicked Delight and the recipe is below......I hope you enjoy it.


Wicked Delight


1 Large Jar Dry Roasted Peanuts UNSALTED

1 box small pretzel sticks

1 small box Golden Graham Cereal

2 cups of pecans

12 squares of white chocolate almond bark

Melt White Chocolate in a double boiler or in microwave

Mix nuts, cereal and pretzel sticks. Pour chocolate on mixture.

Stir and coat well. Spread onto wax paper to cool….store in an air

Tight container….

Makes a lot.






Here is our tree. I have worked on it for 9 years now. Thinking of changing it next year with reds and golds.....taking the pinks out.

Here is Miller's tree. He loves it lit up every day. And loves his Christmas animals around it.

Madison's tree is Hot Pink and Black...this is the color of her room with a hint of green. She loves her tree. I made most of the ornaments on it. It really is cute.

This is our Nativity Scene. Scott and I bought it a couple of years back. I love putting it out. Miller cant reach it and we bought him his own this year.
This is my mantle with the kids stockings. This is the first year we have had a fireplace. I love having it.

Here are my Christmas Dishes. I collect Spode. I love it. It is so pretty.

This is my Dining Room table decorated.


This is in the foyer.

This was my Hot Chocolate Party set up last weekend. It was alot of fun. You ought to try this sometime....make some homemade Hot Chocolate and tons of toppings. Call up some girlfriends and you have a great little get together.
I hope you all had a great time. There are others you need to go visit now......Boomama is hosting this all day. Merry Christmas Everyone!

I will have to say that Madison's tree is my favorite. I love anything pink and especially hot pink.

We had a fireplace growing up and seeing yours reminded me of how I miss it. I don't see many fireplaces on Oahu.

The hot cocoa party sounds like a great idea. Like I said I wish I could of been there. Yumm-o,

Your house looks very pretty for the holiday. I'll bet having your first Christmas there will be exciting.

Your home is beautiful, Jen. I love your fireplace too. Love the way you've decorated and it's so great that the kids have their own small trees.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Merry Christmas! I had a pink and white tree a few years ago. I think I'll do it about next year with a splash of gold or silver. Your kids' trees are really awesome! Thanks for the tour.
