Christmas Parade Evangelism
The Christmas Parade has come and gone. This year, like the previous two we put together a float in the name of our church. Each year they get better and better. This year we added a couple guys playing guitar and singing Christmas songs and people loved it!
Merry Christmas!
Every year this day gets more magical as the kids understand more about Christmas. This year, we spent Christmas in our new house. It was fun to figure out where the tree would go. It was fun to decide how to do the lights outside. But what was super amazing was the comprehension these kids have […]
Christmas Jitters
It’s only 2 days until Christmas and you can feel the excitement in our house. I mean, if you’re super sleepy Scott and me anyway because we were up late wrapping gifts and these kids got up at 5:00 this morning. They are so excited about all the wonderful little parts of Christmas that are […]
O Christmas Tree
When I was a kid, ours was the family who, on the first weekend in December, loaded up in the family car and headed out to the tree farm to find our Christmas tree. We drove for almost an hour and when we got to the farm we trekked hill and down dale until, sometimes […]

Decking the Halls
Christmas is here! It’s time to decorate!!! This year, much like the last two, we decorated the tree together. I am always ready with the camera.

Tree Farm
In Florida, we don’t have Christmas tree farms (that I know of). You can get some pre-cut trees, but you can’t chop them down yourself. When I was a kid we only cut them down ourselves. And it was such a fun tradition. We’d drive out to a tree farm about 40 minutes away, trudge up […]
Post-Christmas Reminiscing
Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope you had a beautiful day with your family, celebrating the birth of our Savior–and of course, sharing in some traditions made wonderful just by being with those you love. We had a fantastic day! As each child grows the fun of Christmas gets greater.
Wrapping Gifts
We are just about finished readying our gifts! The girls have been busily making presents for each other. Chloe wrote Santa another letter, just to make sure he doesn’t forget her. She also has a gift ready for him. Yesterday, I grabbed all of our wrapping supplies and got the girls ready to wrap presents. […]
Cinnamon Ornaments
I love cinnamon ornaments! They are so much fun and they smell so yummy! I remember making them in 4th grade and for some reason I have such a great memory from doing that with my class. I’ve thought about it here and there since, and this year I found the recipe. Needless to say, […]
