Winter Cheer

 My husband brought home a sweet

 snow couple to brighten our home.

He knows I love snowmen.... they're always smiling.

Then he painted a little red truck 

to put on the mantle....

All merry and bright.

We usually keep our December on the quiet side. I tend to put up Winter lights or a couple of cheery things that add a glow to the home.....things that can stay up until January or February that brighten the Winter days and add a smile.

Like this lovely sign my

daughter made.

Simple and festive.

Then the Lord sent us a pretty

dusting of snow

 to add to our decorations.

Just right!

We enjoy visiting the Avoca mansion/museum each Christmas season

for their tour and Christmas tea.

It was a beautiful day.

The weather was brisk,

but inside was cozy and charming.

So fun stepping back in time....

They have a room for children

with nature finds.

I liked the little red fox.

I leave you with a favorite 

Christmas hymn.

The words truly represent

the heart of Christmas to me....
