Christmas Countdown: Around the house today

Just a kinda random post for now . . . I'm far from being the kind of photographer who can post beautiful pics that look like they came from a magazine, but here are a few "real life" shots from around the house on a gloomy, rainy day-before-Christmas-Eve.

hot cocoa mix and candy dishes ready for snacking . . .

Christmas potpourri simmering in my mini crockpot . . . 

s'mores ornaments and little houses with lighted glass terrariums . . . 


a sign that the kids faithfully change every day . . . :)

freshly baked wheat bread . . . 

sewing machine waiting to work on more secret projects after kiddos are in bed . . . 

our bedroom door covered with greetings from family and friends near and far . . . 

Christmastime makes me happy. :)

Thank you, Billie Jo! I don't think I ever "officially" welcomed you to my blog yet, but I've enjoyed your comments and I'm glad you stop in when you get a chance! :) Hope you have a lovely Christmas as well.
