I absolutely love these German Smokers that Rick picked up while on his Mission in Germany. What a great addition to our festive Christmas decorations!

This vintage ornament was gifted to me last year…it’s so AWESOME!

A Christmas Staple: old fashioned peppermints

These dolls were purchased in Russia on my way home from my mission. Another classic detail for Christmas!

I am not into “crafty” wooden carved stuff, but this holds meaning. My mom gave up some of her decorations a few years ago, and I received this Angel. It’s a reminder of home and all her fabulous decorations.

I am not a glitter and glam girl. However, glitter is so appropriate for Christmas! What’s not to like about this little musical glitter house?!

This year, we agreed that a faux fir tree would be purchased for our teensy-weensy condo. Had we purchased a real Christmas Tree, it would have to have been totally wrap up in a huge bag so that needles wouldn’t spill all over the hallways of our complex, as we’d drag it to the dumpster. Fughettaboutit!

Rick is so domesticated. Again, he does not disappoint!
