Friend Makin' Monday

It's time for another addition of Friend Making Monday, hosted by {aefilkins}, and today is all about the Superbowl!!!

Did you watch the Super bowl? Of course! The mighty, but unfortunatly not mighty enough Colts were playing!

If so, who were you rooting for? Ummm, the Colts.

If not, what did you do instead? I took Addison back and forth from the bathroom because she wasn't feeling well.

Where did you watch it/not watch it? Our house. We were informed by my sis and her hubby a few weeks ago that we were hosting them! :) Then my friend, Kathy and her two girls came over.

What did you eat? What didn't we eat? We had pizza from our youth groups fundraiser, nacho dip, barbecue smokies, artichoke puffs (MMMmmmmmmm), blueberry dessert, party mix, cheese & crackers, etc... Oh, and some psycho huge cookies that Amber made! :) It's a good story. Way too much food!

Favorite superbowl commercial? I have 2, equally funny!

Chickens Across America

Doritos

Least favorite? There are simply no words, absolutely ridiculous!

Dumb

What did you think of the half time show? How old is The Who? Are they retired in Miami? Not a big fan, pretty boring.

Who do you wish would have been the halftime show? Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift, Pink, etc...

Christmas Home Tour

Welcome to our home!!!

This is our first Christmas in our home, and it has been exciting to decorate for the first time.

So come on in, take your coat and shoes off, and stay a while...

You can set your keys or purse here, if you want.

Don't forget to shut the door behind you!

The Dining Room hutch leaves a great space down below for decorating with my Christmas garland and boxes.

Now join me in the Great Room. We will start a nice fire,

check out more decorations,

(This big Santa used to hang on our front door at our old house, but that doesn't work here, so this is a good alternative!)

(love this nativity)

and admire the tree.

Between our Great Room and Kitchen you pass my Butler's Pantry. I set out this church from one of my villages that I collect. I love how the stained glass glows at night!

You will also pass by our Powder Room. I found this really cute soap dispenser with blue crystals on snowflakes. I love it! And then there were a few hand towels to match.

The kitchen is next...

decorations on the hood

another nativity at Mama's Command Central area (aka my desk)

and where I hide my secret stash of mint M & M's. Now you know!

The family room, where most of our family time occurs.

I got this great tree from my mom, and then had been admiring these ornaments at Target. They went on sale a few weeks ago, and I snagged them up. Love them!

One of my favorite snowmen! A lady from our church makes these with old sweaters and buttons that she finds at Goodwill!

I love to set him out every year.

This has got to be my favorites. I call him my elfish Santa. He is just so stinking cute and his beard is just so soft.

Off of our family room we have a second entrance for our back door guests. You know what they say!!! So those special guests deserve a decorated entrance as well!

I placed my card tree on the door going out to the garage. Not sure if I will do this again, my family gets a little agressive shutting the door sometimes, and the cards go flying!

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas Home Tour! Come back again, and enjoy the real snow that I got a picture of!
