This December has been a whirlwind full of hustle and bustle, but finally, most everything is done. I still have a few stocking stuffers to find and then…I’m in the kitchen. Last night for the first time in years, I made the dough for cinnamon rolls. It’s in the refrigerator and I’ll pull it out later today, let it rise and make the rolls. There is nothing that makes the house smell like Christmas more than homemade cinnamon rolls baking in the oven.
Today, Rebecca, Britt and I are going to pick up Rebecca’s wedding dress, and I’m very excited to see it on her again! As soon as the holidays are over, the wedding planning will be in full swing. The big things are done…hiring the caterer, photographer, florist, etc., and now it’s time to get the details planned. 2022 is going to be a busy year for our family.
Now that I’ve given you the update on my life…here is the 3rd Annual Crazy Blonde Christmas House Tour.
So many of our decorations hold a special meaning and lots of memories from times in our lives when our daughters were growing up. I always admire people who have a new “holiday theme” for their decor each year, but I will probably never be one of those people! I really look forward decorating with Santa’s that my dad carved to ornaments that the girls made and so much more. I do try to mix things up just a bit, and some years are more grand than others, but there will always be elements of our Christmas that remain the same! I hope you enjoy!
I will be posting again in the morning and then again on December 26, but just in case you’re busy as we all are…
I want to wish each of you a very, Merry Christmas full of love and laughter and family and friends and wrapping paper and presents and happiness and joy. I wish each of you to have whatever Christmas miracle you have been praying for. Sending all my love to you for Christmas!

Hi Suzanne,
I enjoyed your tour very much! It was great hearing you describe each room and the special details. I think keeping to decorations that have meaning is a wonderful tradition, I do the same! What a beautiful home you’ve created, thank you for sharing it with us.
Merry Christmas, have a wonderful time with your family!

Hi Heidi
Thank you so much for watching! Most of the decorations I use in the house during the holidays have some sort of story. We have been collecting for quite a while now and I do think it brings so much meaning! I hope you had a very special Christmas and are looking forward to great things in the new year!
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Wishing you and your family lots of Christmas Joy!
Love the simplicity, I too was in a less is more mood this year! Your home is beautiful, I especially love your Dad’s Santa carvings, he definitely had a wonderful and heartfelt talent! Thanks for sharing and I hope your Christmas is fabulous, full of blessings and lots of love! Merry Christmas 🎄❤️😘🌟 and as always keep Shining🌟🌟🌟
Hi Patty
My word of the year is focus, because I tend to be all over the place and I want to remind myself to focus on one thing at a time, but I also think that adding simplicity might be a really good thing. Focus and Simplicity seem to go well together. Lots of love to you and your family! Happy New Year!
