Christmas Tour of Homes

BooMama is having a Christmas Tour of homes, so I thought I would join in and show you how I decorated my house for Christmas. Please note I am not a good decorator and a lot of thing are things my kids and I made.
This is my front door with Rudolf the Red nose Pumpkin. It is a long story that is posted on another post.


This is our main tree where the gifts will go.

My Dining Room.


The eat-in-kitchen: We have paper chains everywhere.




This is the tree we have only home made ornaments on it,











My kitchen.






My Living Room







My small snowmen collection.

Wow, for 'not being a decorator' your house is beautiful.

I was wondering how your Rudolph the Red Nosed Pumpkin was doing just this morning. That is a pumpkin with staying power.

Thanks for the glance inside.

Thank you for the tour of your BEAUTIFUL home! I love all the clean lines your home has. :)

How many Christmas boxes do you have to store all that in? We only do our front room and I feel like I have a ton of storage boxes. But it doesn't really look that decorated.

I missed your "postings" this past weekend. :)

You have a beautiful home. I scrolled down to see your fingernail post also and I have to figure out how to do that. My 12 year old would be love me for doing that for her. Can you explain the acrylic paint? Is that like at a craft store or is it still a type of nail polish?
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
