Merry Christmas!

Christmas blessings to all!

Rejoice

Christmas is coming!

Margaret made this beautiful centerpiece at St. Anne's Guild for girls.

The family bakery made some yummy treats this weekend.

These two had a little too much fun!

Are we done yet?

So many cozy memories this time of year.

Christmas is close now but I had to mention these two devotionals we are enjoying this year.

This Advent story and this beautiful Advent music.

Tree Time

Let It Snow

The weather has been frightful but if you're a kid it really is delightful!

 

And as long as I'm by the fire,

"Let it snow,

let it snow,

let it snow!"

Feeling Crafty

St. Nicholas Day was a snow day.

We caught the craft mood and soon the kitchen looked like Santa's workshop!

Pretty, Happy, Funny & Real

Joining the fun at Like Mother, Like Daughter.

PRETTY

We decided to try something different this year.

The advent wreath is on the mantle so we had to create a new design that would fit.

Thank you Dad and kids! 

It looks great and is out of reach from little hands!

We put the nativity up there too.

Not so fun for little ones but we can get it down when they want to play with the resin figures.

HAPPY

Working our way through salvation history again.  

First time making fudge - YUM!

FUNNY

These handsome fellows (five total) were gathering in our front yard several days 

AFTER Thanksgiving.

REAL

Big brother reading Christmas stories to little brother.

Thankful

So thankful to have them all together under one roof.

Last Little Bit of Gardening

We snuck some bulbs into the ground while it was still unfrozen.

We planted a variety of tulips, grape hyacinths, daffodils and narcissus.

Grandma and Grandpa helped us get them planted.

Can't wait to see these beauties in the Spring!
