Been busy making sweet Christmas memories the last couple weeks with more to come this week. So far it has included a trip Silver Dollar City. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year celebrating an old fashioned Christmas. Our favorites to see is The Dicken's Christmas Carol, The Living Nativity and The Homestead Pickers. There are so many lights throughout the town and the hot chocolate is dee-lish! If you didn't have the Christmas spirit when you came you are sure to have it when you leave!
We had our 2'nd annual gingerbread house decorating day at my sisters. Of course it's just us girls that participate in this since Dakota no longer has an interest in decorating gingerbread houses. hehe! He did join us after he got off work and we all enjoyed a nice lunch together. :)
We also made Christmas cookies, have been watching lots of Christmas movies and wrapping presents. We've been having our Advent devotions and we decided to open our "Jesus gift" this week. We were all surprised at how much money was in our box and really enjoyed looking through the World Vision Catalog to pick out gifts to send. We decided on a Bible translated in a child's language, vegetable seeds for 1 family, and a rabbit. We decided that our Jesus gift is definitely a new family tradition! This week will be filled with my "mom's only" homeschool Christmas party, cleaning, grocery shopping, baking, and finishing up school for Christmas break, and somewhere in there I've got to take my car to get looked at. Then Saturday begins the family festivities! Can't wait! God is good and has been blessing us greatly! Hope you all are enjoying the Holiday season as much as we are!
