A little more Christmas

Julia from Hooked on Houses is having a Holiday House Tour today. I love Julia's parties! Today I'll show you a bit of my kitchen all dressed up for Christmas. If you'd like to see more of my kitchen, click here. And now for some of our Christmas touches in the kitchen.

When my boys were babies, we lived in Michigan, where we had lots of snowmen. When we moved back to the South, some good friends gave us these snowman plates:

I get them out every Christmas, and they set the tone for our kitchen decor.

I love to put snowmen on my antique dough cabinet

and over in my Mom Corner.

This year I added a garland to the stair railing

complete with rusty snowmen:

The table centerpiece, compliments of my youngest son, includes a whole snow scene made of Lego bricks:

There's even a cute snowman sled on the door leading out to my screened porch:

Here, you can see him better in this photo:

One of my favorite things about my kitchen is that the screened porch is adjacent to it. I don't go to much trouble to decorate the porch, but I do add a few things to make it festive.

There are a few things you can't see in these photos. . . like the pile of ornaments that have NOT been made into ornament wreaths. Yet. Or maybe ever.

Or this kind of monkey business that goes along with Christmas baking:

Do you think Snickers the beagle is standing guard, or just waiting her turn?

Thanks for joining me for a look at my Christmas kitchen!
