Follow the Star!

Grab that sugar cookie loaded with frosting...
for a yummy recipe go here...
and enjoy a sneak at our Colorado Christmas!
Let's start with the...
O Christmas Tree...
When we lived in Germany, I bought the white and gold glittery stars.
I LOVE them!
I would probably save them in a fire...I love them that much!
I also added lots of Gold C's this year!
Hobby Lobby had the big ones -
and I had collected the little ones for awhile now -
just added some gold spray paint!
Oh! How I could just stare at the gold/red/sparkle goodness all day!

Next comes the mantle!
My little birdcage holds decorations for every season...
it had little pumpkins in it first!
JOY has to be one of my most favorite words...
especially at Christmas time!
I have this sign up all year round - but it finds a special place
near Mary and Joseph these days!

Here are Miss Allikaye's favorite Christmas books...
Our Christmas cards...

And here is the REASON FOR THE SEASON...

Thanks for stopping by!

FOLLOW THE STAR!!
