Welcome to Boomama's Christmas Tour of Homes! This is my 3rd year participating and it's always a lot of fun!
I've got brownies in the oven, so come on in...
Our stockings are hung by the chimney with care.
Our tree is decorated with white lights, gold ribbon, red bows, candy canes, and lots of family ornaments.
Let's make our way into the dining room.
I've tucked in red and white poinsettias on my teacup shelf.
Lots of Christmas touches on my hutch.
Lastly, my Christmasy kitchen.
Don't forget to grab a Buckeye Brownie before you go. Here's the recipe if you'd like to make some, too.
Buckeye Brownies
9x13 pan of your favorite brownies. (I used Ghiradelli's triple chocolate mix)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 6 TB. butter, softened and divided
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1. Prepare, bake and cool your brownies.
2. Mix together powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of butter and peanut butter; spread over brownies. Chill for 1 hour.
3. Melt together 6 TB of butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Spread over brownies. Let cool. Cut into small squares.
Thank you for stopping by and be sure to visit Boomama for more home tours! Merry Christmas!

Very Currier and Ives and I LOVE it!!!
Hi Kelli -
Your home is so festive. Cozy and welcoming. Thank you for giving us a tour. I felt right at home!
~Adrienne~
You have your home so beautifully decorated. The ice skates are a fun twist for a front door decoration. Love it!
Your home is so cozy and pretty Kelli! Love the decorations by the front door. I'm sorry I passed I the pair of ice skates I saw at the thrift store last week. I knew I should have got them - your's look so charming on your door!
Manuela
Everything so nice...
ALfazema
Very beautifully decorated! Makes me want to come visit! =)
Your house looks Great! I really love the ice skaters, and those brownies YUM! Thanks for the recipe. My dad will go crazy over those. He is a huge OHIO state fan so anything with the name buckeye in it, he loves.
Everything is so beautiful. I don't know how you do it, with 3 children, home schooling, blogging, sewing, crafting...how do you have the time for everything to be so nice?
I just love the ice skates on the door, they are simple adorable! You have done a beautiful job!
–Cheers! Amy
Your home is absolutely gorgeous! I love all of your Christmas touches. It looks so pretty and cozy! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs, Sharon
Do you mind if I take those skates with me on the way out?!?! :)
Loved your house; thanks for the tour!
Love, love, lovin' your porch and front door!!!!!
Great idea to use skates on your door! I love your kitchen!
Oh, I like how you took the serving tray (I think that's what it is) with the horsedrawn carriag scene and put it up with the candles and greenery... I'll have to use that idea next year! :)
Beautiful home, thanks for sharing!
So very lovely!
I love your house, it looks so inviting!
Beautiful. I love your cozy home.
I love the ice skates on your door!
Your home is beautiful. Thank you for the recipe. I will try it this week at a get together I am going to.
Forgive me if this comes through twice -- I got an error message the first time.
I love how your decorations are so lovely, yet they leave one feeling warm and homey rather than uncomfortable and feeling they can't move freely or touch anything.
I've wanted to do a frozen pond scene with a mirror like that.
Those brownies look scrumptious!
I love your kitchen...and the cute dog guarding the sofa!
The home is beautiful and inviting. I love your style. Classy with the touch of home. Great job!
That was a very nice walk through. I did grab a brownie on the way out and that was delicious.Everything looks beautiful, thx Kelli.
Thank you for sharing! Blessings for your Christmas!
Thanks, Kelli.
I enjoyed dropping by your home. I like your loveseat with the dog on it. I'm shopping for a new one and wondered what brand it was, how long you've had it and if you've been happy with it. Nosey aren't I.
Mama Bear
Kelli, I love your decorations! I especially wanted to comment on the tea set though, because I'm pretty sure the one I have is the exact same...my grandmother gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago because my grandparents decided that instead of buying gifts that year they would give us a family heirloom...the story with mine is that it came to the United States from Ireland on a ship with my great-great grandmother a very long time ago...I just wanted to share!!

Season's Greetings Kelli!
Your home is lovely! My favorites are your ice skates at the door, the Currier and Ives tray and the snowflake cookie mold on the kitchen hutch! Gentleman Farmer loves brownies and I love Buckeye candy ~ your recipe is the perfect combination for us! Thanks for sharing.
Love the dog sleeping on the sofa!!!
Everything looks so wonderful! I love the ice skates on the door! Thanks for letting us in!
As always, it looks beautiful, Kelli! And I knew you'd have delicious goodies, too:) Gotta try those brownies!!
I participated in BooMama's tour, too, isn't it fun?!
Merry Christmas!
Kelli, you're such a treat!Have a very Merry Christmas.
The ice skates on the front door are brilliant. I'm going to start hunting for some and steal your idea. I'll totally give you credit for it, though, when people compliment me on my decorating pizzaz. =^)
Your house is so beautifully cozy! Thank you for the tour!
Lovely, Kelli.
My favorite thing at your house this time of year is always the ice skates hanging at the front door. They bring back memories for me, of growing up on a frozen pond. Well, not ON the pond of course, but certainly enjoying it.
You home is lovely and inviting as always. I hope you have the merriest of Christmases. Great to see you!
Everything looks lovely.
Hi
