Merry Christmas Home Tour | Joy's Room

Y'all, I've been out of pocket for the past few weeks.  My family got a terrible stomach virus and we have been trying to get well for over a week.  We are on the mend and I'm back to blogging just in time for all of blogland's Christmas home tours.  I am excited to take you on a tour of my home all decked out for the "most wonderful time of the year"!!!

Welcome to my MERRY CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR.  Over the course of the week, I'll be taking you on a little tour around our home all decorated for Christmas!

First stop:  Joy Baby's room

There are no shortage of JOY ornaments at Christmas!

This year, AG and Edy have a new Christmas tree so Joy inherited their old tree, but we added some ornaments special to our precious baby girl.

Mamaw's snowman fits in perfectly.

Another one of Mamaw's ornaments that I just love!!!

Let's Gather Blog Hop | Stop 3

Welcome to the Let's Gather Blog Hop!  Thanks for hosting, Amanda!!!!  I hope y'all have been enjoying the wonderful fall inspiration along the way.  I'm STOP 3 on the tour.

For starters, I'll show you around my house...

This year, I kept it pretty simple--just a few pumpkins and gourds here and there.

Nothing to write home about, but it's fall-ish nonetheless!
