Holiday House Tour

The Locurto’s are always up for a good party! We’re excited to be joining the many Holiday parties in blog land!

It’s not a good party without food. So, we decided to make easy no bake cookie cottages for the party, compliments of Martha Stewart. Aren’t these adorable? My husband did most of the work. He just loves a good party!!

My real life friend Belinda makes gingerbread houses from scratch. Her kids decorate and eat this the entire month of December. I think they are fabulous and would be wonderful for the party!

This covers their entire dinning room table. What a cute little village! Don’t you just want to bite the head off that gingerbread man? Or…maybe that’s just me:-)

A few years ago they even had a swimming pool made of candy!

Want to create something like this? Get some great ideas on this site.

We decided to make a non-edible house this year. My husband made this with my kids. I’ve never seen so much glitter on the floor!

If you notice, there are only three gingerbread people. According to my husband, I’m in the house on the computer. LOL!! (he didn’t think it was as funny as I did.)

Come inside and take a tour…

My feather wreath is my favorite Christmas decoration.

I love Santa stuff.

My mom gave me her cute reindeer plate collection! These were some of my grandma’s ornaments.

This plate cracks me up!

I hope you like our Christmas tree this year. It’s full of kid ornaments, family photos and Santas. Notice no presents under the tree. My kids would open them in 2 seconds!!

We are That Family is having a share your tree party! So we’re showing off our tree for all to see.

Thanks for coming! It was fun. Now I need to workout from eating all those cookie houses!!

    I found this web site quite by accident. My husband’s family name is LoCurto also. We live in Buffalo NY. I don’t know if there is any relation. I wanted to say that the website is wonderful!
