Christmas Season

Christmas Around here....

Christmas season always seems so busy, we've tried to not schedule too much and keep things simple, focusing on our family, some time with friends and doing things for others.

 Our tiny potted tree

House decorating

Advent calendar bible verses

Cookie baking

Silly pups

Crafts with friends

Homeschool Christmas party

Hubbies work Christmas dinner

A few decorations and our potted tree-

 Hubbies casual work Christmas dinner

(had to have the kiddos take our picture, we hardly have any together!)

Boys baking..

and the dog hoping something drops!

Lots of cookies!

My bed WAS made this morning...until...Ernie made a nest for himself!

Crafts with friends and our homeschool group to be distributed with meals on wheels.

Advent Calendar

Instead of a chocolate paper calendar one with doors - I made a hanging one, each day has a bible verse leading up to Jesus birth/Christmas day. The kids do get one small item each day as well along with the verse.

Merry Christmas season to all, may you enjoy the precious time with your families focusing on what is truly important.

 Photography in our field. My view from my window...finishing work while the kids were out taking photos.

 New house...loving our kitchen cabinet space!

 Dining room, office, school room....love the view.

Hubbie built shelves. Starting to hang some photos making the house feel like home.

 We have no neighbors out the back and the best view...mountains and gorgeous sunsets.

 Zeike our daughters rabbit is now a house bunny. This old man wasn't doing so good so we want to keep him close.

 Our old girl Sadie.

Finding time for school in between all the move craziness. Our son the science lover.

Sundays we do crock pot meals! 

Quick , easy  and it cooks while we go to church and spend time as a family.

Last weeks was a hit (not vegetarian)

Recipe: cabbage-sausage-potato-soup 

This weekend we spent building pallet animal pens.

That is one of the qualities I love most about my husband - his dad taught him valuable life skills, using tools, fixing cars, building things and now my husband is teaching our son.

Blessed in our new home, filled with love.
