Well, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now on to Christmas :) Yesterday we set up our Christmas tree. Mary is at the age where she did most of the tree decorating. We have a lot of ornaments of all kinds. I have been collecting ever since I was in my 20s, so a lot of memories. It is fun to tell Mary the stories behind them. She really saved my back from all that standing and bending. She loved having more input on where the decorations should go. She also gets a kick our of the stockings, hats and stuffed Christmas toys we put under the tree. She couldn't resist putting a Santa Hat on Mac. He wanted to play with it but he did hold still long enough for me to snap his picture. Today we tackled the school room. Mary changed the calendar and I worked on the bulletin board. We were happy how it turned out. We do our supply shopping at the thrift store and get some amazing deals. Also my sister, Linda, has gotten her a lot of things over the years and we have really used them these last couple of years. Mary said it was amazing how pretty you can make something out of a little bit of stuff and a lot of love! Well, I will post our pictures. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
This was a Christmas wreath making event at Hanley Farm.
We will put a candle on each day with a name of the Lord and read the scripture where it is found.
