Merry Christmas! come on in....

Hello!! I hope you all had a very blessed day with your family and friends

A special thank you for everyone who takes the time to stop here and say hello, leave comments, and read...thank you

We were unexpectedly blessed with having our Christmas here at the farm.......alone........so peaceful and quiet

it was wonderful


here's an inside look all around the house...and a bit outdoors too


the mudroom...


the kitchen...


the three oldest when they were little in front of our old barn as "the nativity" scene...a treasure for us




can you tell I love the shelves Jason made for that wall?




my little snowman that our 11 yr. old son hand carved and made for me...i love him so so much! he even made the little mittens out of felt!

the tree...




the living room...










I set up a little wine bar on the bookshelves in the living room

 


we added shutters in the bathroom, and i hung a jar my younger sister made with some lavender and spruce



upstairs in the kids rooms...

the boys' tree and decorations (they love to do it themselves)

and the girls' room...much different than the boys :)





and in the master...





a very special birthday gift from some good friends :)


my dresser was temporarily a wrapping station



made in Germany...these little angels lull me to sleep with their beauty



a view out the master...the first snow....

little Daniel's blue woolen coat hanging in his room





going back indoors, we are baking and feasting and loving this wonderful life...



Hope you are all celebrating all 12 days of Christmas......

with love and blessings,

 Jason, Anne Marie, and all of the children

  13. Thank you so much for letting us have a look inside your beautiful home. To say that you inspire me would be an understatement. Your amazing sense of style, your convictions, your love of family...I am so drawn in that I must say you inspired change in me. We brought more meaning and thoughtfulness into the holiday, scaled everything way back, slowed down and focused on God and Family. Thank you for staying true to who you are. You shine!

    And, since you are going to look in the internet, you can easily pick out, from
    the many sites, the cheapest massage therapist that can give
    you the best Swedish massage of your life. Complete rehab solutions provide services for these type people.
