Christmas Memories
Monday December 28, 2009We had a super duper Christmas. And now that 2010 is bearing down on us, I figured I better get these memories chronicled. Prepare for an overload of photos. This is what the week before Christmas was like … Sunday: we made decorated a gingerbread house. It turned out pretty good! It was fun to [...]

Saturday December 26, 2009One of the things I wanted to do this advent season was memorize Luke 2:1-20 with the kids. I figured if we started December 1st and worked on one verse a day, we’d knock it out well before Christmas. Well, we started off on a good foot, but then Mike & I got less diligent [...]

Tags: celebrations, christmas, traditionsMy new favorite tree farm
Saturday December 12, 2009I love getting a live Christmas tree and love the idea of going to a cut-your-own tree farm and hand selecting the perfect tree. However, I have a particular idea about what the perfect tree should look like, and it’s typically not found at any of the tree farms in our area. I have come [...]

Tuesday December 8, 2009*** Reminder: I’m giving away a beautiful necklace, courtesy of Tracey Jolley Designs – check it out!! *** We love Christmas music — maybe not in the malls in September, but in our home.

Mike took the day off, so after hearing how brilliant our kindergartner is, we took of for a fun day at Cox Farms. We’ve been going for several years and always have a blast. It’s typically cooler and [...]

Tuesday December 30, 2008We snuck in one last “Christmas” tradition tonight by driving out to see the Bull Run “Festival of Lights”. (my pictures got a little blurrier when we were moving). We had everyone decked out in their jammies, so that they would easily transfer straight to bed after the night out. Despite Sam’ claims of being [...]

Wednesday December 24, 2008Who’s cooking Christmas dinner? (raises hand). I feel like I’ve been slow to get started this December, but the menu is finally set, the groceries shopped, and much of the prep work done! This year’s menu is not too different from the last few. We like what we like and don’t want to mess with [...]

Saturday December 13, 2008Last Saturday, we embarked on our annual tradition of selecting our Christmas tree. In years past, this tradition has involved driving to a cut-your-own tree farm, wandering around the woods in the brisk cold air, while I systematically rule out every tree in sight. After tromping around for a while, I come to realize that [...]
