I’m not sure if it’s because she was born during the holidays, if it’s because she’s the fourth child, or if it’s because she began walking at 10 months, but this Baby has sure grown quickly! Seems as if we just brought her home from the hospital!
Santa brought us matching aprons 💕

Merry Christmas!

Our dear friends and loved ones, may you know the love and joy that the Baby born in a manger brings!

Merry Christmas!🎄
Joy to the world! The Lord is come.

Let earth receive her King!

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven, and heaven and nature sing!

This crew hasn’t been together since 2011. Thanking God for today!!!

Our First Tree

Andrew shared a throwback picture of our first tree. 

My two helpers today.
Heading out to chores.
Ready to greet the day.
The boys’ room. I mustn’t be the only one with a fond appreciation of “Charlie Brown” trees.

O Come, Divine Messiah!

We put up the tree today. O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum 🎶
A walk in the woods. Andrew took this picture.
Helping decorate the 🎄.
The tree decorating crew. A much smaller tree than last year.
They looked at a homegrown tree as a potential (it’s one Andrew and I planted in 2012, and will have to be cut down for a road) but the shape wasn’t quite what the boys were looking for.
Grandma’s tree is up.
They raised this broiler, butchered it and it was a truly homemade meal. Garden potatoes, carrots, onions and a homegrown chicken. God is a good provider!
Dear Savior, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel 🎶

Andrew’s began a hobby of collecting anything postmarked out of the Haymarsh Post Office (closed sometime in the 1920’s, I believe). There’s a cute story behind this postcard (his most recent purchase), he’ll have to tell you sometime.
Andrew built and put a new door on a building. He built the door on Friday after supper and put it in place on Saturday. He’s a hard-working man.
St. Nicholas Day treats🎅
More St. Nicholas Day treats🎅
Beautiful Sunday weather to be on one’s roof.
I enjoy bringing out the seasonal books. 🌟
They enjoy helping Dad.
Such a good worker.💙
Probably the best Dad in the world!
Thanks for the Christmas set you gave us on our 1st Anniversary, Steve. It’s wonderful being able to bring out a festive set.
Happy 2nd week of Advent!
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
