Scott & Stacey Dunavant
Rogersville
Interior & Holiday Décor by Georgetta Parks and Stacey Dunavant
Built in 1980 and situated on 40 acres in Rogersville, this cherished ranch-style home is filled with family history and holiday traditions. Stacey grew up here, and after a complete remodel in 2010 and 2011, she and Scott returned home in 2014 to continue creating memories with their daughters, Sydney & Shayley.
Traditional design, warm tones, and thoughtful holiday decorating make the home especially inviting during the Christmas season. Each room is decorated to complement its unique character, creating a cohesive and welcoming holiday experience throughout the house.
The family’s primary Christmas tree, a stunning Balsam Hill Yukon Spruce, serves as the centerpiece of the home. Nearby, Stacey’s grandmother’s cabinet displays treasured photos of Santa visits with their daughters, celebrating years of Christmas memories.
A dramatic rock fireplace anchors the main living space, while the lower-level fireplace showcases the family’s stockings hanging from the mantel. The kitchen features a distinctive curved window designed to accommodate a custom bench, creating a cozy gathering spot for family and guests.
The former garage has been transformed into a hearth room with a large island used for crafts, baking, and holiday projects. Outside, an expansive entertainment area includes a breezeway, outdoor kitchen, hot tub, pool, and adjoining pool house.
A favorite feature is Scott’s impressive Budweiser Christmas Beer Stein Collection, featuring annual steins from 1980 through 2026. Displayed alongside Budweiser-themed ornaments in the entertainment area, the collection reflects a love of tradition and serves as a festive reminder that the home’s greatest treasures are the memories shared within it.

Dan & Angie Hicks
Hickory Hills
Holiday Décor by Ellecor
Recognized as a 417 Magazine 2022 “Home of the Year”, this extraordinary residence within the Hickory Hills development is a masterful collaboration between designer Haden Long of Ellecor Designs, builder Dave Duncan of Vanguard Homes, and architect Jason Thompson of J.L. Thompson Design Group. Designed in a modern prairie style, the home showcases innovative design techniques, exceptional craftsmanship, and a seamless connection to its natural surroundings.
From the moment you step inside, the home’s abundance of natural light creates an inviting atmosphere. A dramatic wall of windows frames the outdoors while filling the interior with sunshine throughout the day. At the heart of the home, a striking floating staircase with open slat treads serves as both an architectural centerpiece and a testament to the home’s thoughtful design.
Warm tones and rich textures are layered throughout every space to create a sense of comfort and sophistication. White oak serves as the signature material, appearing in the flooring and numerous custom details throughout the home. This consistent use of natural wood introduces warmth and character while complementing the home’s clean, contemporary lines.
Careful attention was given to making each space feel softer and more welcoming. One-of-a-kind light fixtures provide artistic focal points while enhancing the home’s refined aesthetic. The combination of natural materials, innovative architecture, and carefully curated finishes creates a balanced environment that feels both luxurious and livable.
Blending modern prairie architecture with timeless design elements, this award-winning family home offers a truly distinctive living experience.

European Farmhouse
Rogersville
Interior & Holiday Décor by Brooke Mathews and the Homeowner
Nestled on 95 picturesque acres, this relaxed farmhouse-style home is a beautiful reflection of family, history, and thoughtful design. Built by Bailey Pyle Builders from a plan created by Shannon Seelig Harrell of Seelig Harrell Design. This home was inspired by the homeowner’s desire to create a hospitable environment with timeless character where loved ones can gather.
A spacious front porch sets the tone for the home, inviting guests to slow down and stay for a while. Large windows throughout flood the interior with natural light and frame sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Every detail was chosen to create a warm, lived-in feel. Sparkling vintage chandeliers grace the living spaces. An extensive collection of antique architectural elements sourced from estate sales and the famed Round Top and 127 Yard Sale. Beloved nativity sets, charming putz houses and draping garland welcome holiday guests.
Personal stories are woven into nearly every room. In the primary suite, a wall features a hand-painted interpretation of a beloved discontinued floral wallpaper pattern. A stately olive tree brings life to the sunroom, while the entertainment room boasts a library ladder that adds both function and charm.
The home’s most treasured features honor family heritage. A vintage barber chair once belonged to the homeowner’s father, a barber by trade, and an antique Belgian barbershop cabinet is a central focus to honor his continued legacy. A cherished painting of the homeowners’ parents’ wedding photograph commemorates a touching story from their early marriage, including the later addition of a wedding band to the groom’s likeness. In the entertainment room, overhead ceiling beams were beaten, engraved, and marked with Scriptures and the names of loved ones, ensuring that faith and family remain an enduring part of the home’s foundation.

Joe & Shannon Reynolds
Springfield
Holiday Décor by Schaffitzel’s
Built in 1966 and nestled on peaceful lakefront property in Southern Hills, this stunning 5,200-square-foot home offers a rare combination of privacy, elegance, and family charm. Hidden at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the residence feels like a secluded retreat while remaining conveniently located in the heart of Springfield.
Designed for both comfortable living and gracious entertaining, the home features three spacious living areas, and five bedrooms. Original marble floors and a custom dining room table add timeless sophistication throughout the main level, while a gas fireplace creates a warm and inviting gathering space. The staircase, accented by black wrought iron railings, becomes a focal point during the holidays when adorned with garland and stockings as part of the home’s festive décor provided by Schaffitzel’s. For 35 years, Joe’s mother, Harriet, has decorated their home for the holidays. Recently, his sisters, Betsy Schaffitzel and Allie Cain have joined in this annual family decorating tradition.
Rich in character and family history, the home showcases plentiful antiques and treasured keepsakes, including the original house plans, paintings by Joe’s great-great grandmother and a handmade cradle made for the Reynolds family’s firstborn daughter. Special touches from the former owner remain as well, including the bar stools, serving table in the sunroom, television cabinets and Adirondack chairs that continue to be enjoyed by the family today.
The upper-level features charming girls’ bedroom suites, while the sunroom and expansive entertainment area offers the perfect setting for gatherings, celebrations, or simply relaxing while taking in the beauty of the waterfront surroundings.
This remarkable Southern Hills property is more than a home; it is a place where cherished memories, timeless traditions, and exceptional living come together in one unforgettable setting.

Travis Webb
Hickory Hills
Interior Décor by Lisa Clary
Holiday Décor by Courtney Gibbs-Swafford
Perched above the scenic Hickory Hills Golf Course, this striking custom home was built by Travis Miller of Alair and thoughtfully designed by Dale Peer Home Designs. Inspired by the homeowners’ time living in Colorado, the residence seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with warm mountain-inspired elements, creating a sophisticated yet inviting retreat.
A featured 417 Magazine 2020 “Home of the Year”, the home is defined by clean, straight lines and rich walnut accents; the home was designed with both luxury and entertainment in mind. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a disappearing indoor waterfall that sets the tone for the home’s unique design. The spacious floor plan includes a chef’s kitchen featuring premium stainless-steel appliances, a stylish wet bar, and expansive gathering spaces ideal for hosting family and friends.
One of the home’s most distinctive features is a hidden media room, paneled in reclaimed barn wood and filled with Colorado memorabilia, offering a cozy and unexpected escape. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with an expansive entertainment area complete with an outdoor glass fireplace, television, bar area, and hot tub, all overlooking the picturesque golf course.
In the summer of 2025, the estate was further enhanced with the addition of a separate guest house, saltwater lap pool, sauna, home gym, and state-of-the-art golf simulator, expanding its resort-style amenities.
Blending modern luxury, thoughtful craftsmanship, and Colorado-inspired character, this remarkable residence offers an exceptional lifestyle where comfort, recreation, and entertaining come together.

Cup O’ Cheer Archives
2024 Cup O’Cheer Japanese Tea Bowl
For 2024, our “cup” was from Japan, connecting to Springfield’s Sister City in Isesaki, Japan. We also focused on Ronald McDonald House Charities in Japan, demonstrating the global mission of our charity. Thanks to the support of Little Sure Thing, the 2024 commemorative “cup” is a Japanese tea bowl.
Did you know there are more than 1,000 RMHC programs in 62 countries? Although we may have different cultures and languages, we all share the common purpose of caring for families with children who are ill or injured and providing essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.
Springfield’s two Ronald McDonald Houses have welcomed more than 16,400 families from 47 states and 9 countries, including one from Japan in 2024. Most of our families come from SW MO and NW AR, but due to travel and bringing patients to the US for donated medical care, you can see we have a wide reach. This is the case for many Houses in the world. The Tooth Truck serves the Springfield Metro, providing over 34,000 at risk kids with all the dental care needed for a healthy smile.

Welcome
With the holiday season nearly upon us, thoughts naturally go to our annual Cup O’Cheer Homes Tour, Holiday Tea & Market. As you can imagine, planning for Cup O’Cheer begins many months before the event, with featured homes committed one to two years in advance. During this critical planning period, COVID concerns have continued to be significant among many involved. With the close proximity of our guests in shuttles, homes and the Holiday Tea, we made the difficult decision for this beloved event to continue on hiatus in 2022.
We join so many of our guests feeling great disappointment. We will miss the tradition of touring beautiful homes, enjoying a cup of Holiday tea with desserts and savory treats, collecting a commemorative Teacup & Saucer, shopping our market and silent auction, and spending precious time with the special people in our lives.
We are hopeful the future holds another opportunity for us all to gather and celebrate through Cup O’Cheer. But for now, we must be diligent in our commitment to the safety of all involved. We hope you will gather with your family and friends to celebrate the cherished memories of Cup O’Cheer events gone by, and we wish you a safe and blessed holiday season.
Your support of our children and families remains critical. Please consider a holiday gift to help us continue our important mission. For your convenience, you may make a donation here.
