Faithful friends who are dear to us...

...Gather near to us once more!!!

Too cheesy?! I don't care! [I love it!]

Since leaving my hometown and heading back to Wilmy, I have so enjoyed prepping the house for our guests (and dearest friends) who arrive today and tomorrow. The holidays are still going strong at the Houston home, and I couldn't love it more!!!

Take a look at the little tid-bits I've collected and displayed as we host 2 other couples for the next few days...

 Guest room bedside table tray essentials:

coaster, [faux] flowers, and some Christmas chocolates

 And some chocolates for the spouse on the other side of the bed too!

 I hung a new Cheers Y'all [The Shop] piece under my bff Lizzie's window art.

I thought "you are so loved" was the perfect work to hang in our guest room! 

We love our friends!!!

 Instead of treats, the snowman is holding festive holiday glasses and cups and some golden chocolate coins, of course!

I prepped our coffee and tea station and made sure we had some hot chocloate and marshmallows in the house too. 

(Though I'm sure with two Englishmen in the house, at least 6 cups of tea a day will be consumed...)

My mom gave me some munchies for the Ho Ho Ho basket! 

And I found that "Biscuits" jar from Target to replace the other one that Marky broke while eating the said biscuits. :)

 

Not pictured are things like gifts under the tree (not taking it down just yet!!), beer and wine, and the pantry stocked with dinner items for the next few nights! Oh! And clean towels ready for our guests too!

Is there anything I'm forgetting?! What are special things you do when you host friends/family in your home?!
