PICTURE AND A STORY


I bet you are thinking what in the world she talks about Christ in Christmas then here is her daughter with santa claus. Here is an answer no we do not believe in santa clause nor do we teach our children to. I just mostly put it on so you could see the most recent picture of my daughter and there is a little story that goes with the picture. Here is the story every year my Husbands work has a big Christmas dinner for all the employees which we attend. For the kids to get the big bag of candy they give away you guessed it they have to do the whole lap sitting thing with santa. My daughters take on it is I get candy and my picture took. So this is what we did yesterday is had lunch with my husband and it is so worth it you gets lots of food. We had ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce and rolls. The best part was I did not have to cook any of it! Then off to wal mart we went because our cats were not very happy without food. On to the homestead for the usual night chores. That was our day in a nutshell. Hope you all have a great day today and God bless Rebekah.

Going to a Friends

Me and my daughter are off to a friends house to bake cookies today. Every year home school families in my area get together bake cookies in the morning, then around 5:00 go caroling.After that we end up at the house where we baked cookies and eat pizza together. Something me and my daughter look forward to every year. I think the guys like it to but then they are guys not much emotions or sharing feelings so you really don't know. At least they go and have a good time. I will be using recipes I got from Melanie over at the www.adorkablerecipes.blogspot.com. She has some great cookie recipes there go on over and check it out. Thanks for sharing Melanie. I will get pictures and post them later so you can see all the events of our day. Have a great day and God bless Rebekah.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THE FARM

Well as you can see the Christmas present for the farm is a new tractor. My husband and son have been waiting with excitement for it to come. You might ask why a new one? With out going into alot of farm lingo you might not understand I will just say it is bigger and more power. It will help us get our work done quicker and a lot less stress on a bigger tractor. My husband driving the new one to the barn.

Our old one waiting to be loaded.
