Our Christmas Miracle

She joined our family at 2:33 this morning!  Andrew had to take a second look, it was a GIRL!  We are blessed beyond measure!

This sweet Baby got a visit from this sweet Lady!
I’m spoiled rotten by that husband of mine! A rocking chair for Baby & I!

Christmas Eve

Daddy is putting in a work day so we spent some time outside.

Enroute to gather noon eggs the boys noticed Grandpa’s snowpile….after being thoroughly warned of young children with sleds and tractor/traffic tragedies they had a few slides down the hill. Wishing All A Happy Christmas Eve! I don’t think we’ll make Midnight Mass but we’re aiming for the earlier one. I was reminded to enjoy the Presence of Christ & Loved Ones more than the presents. I remember when the tree in the background was shorter than me. The only constant in life is change. I hope everyone has a blessed day… special warm thoughts to our Montevideo Family… we’ll miss you and the festivities! Christ’s Peace & Love!!!

One Last Move

We made one more move before the end of the year!  It was just across the road…so a very short move.

Leaving their current pasture and crossing the road to the new pasture.
Using the tractor to lead them to the sudan grass.
Enjoying the new food!
Cattle mover helpers.
Simon was able to join us at storytime to make trees!

December’s WRM Meeting & Happy 3rd Week of Advent

We had such a delightful meeting tonight.  Also, I hope everyone’s 3rd week of Advent is going well!

The Ladies were admiring the Christmas Stockings, so the two youngest boys decided to jump in to the picture.
The pink candle has been lit up all week.
6 days until Christmas!
So fun to put up the adorable decorations that come with the season!
Lately they’ve been getting “homemade” haircuts, but this month I thought they should be more spruced up☺️

Christmas Program

Happy to have Grandma & Grandpa Jacobson here for the next couple of days!

A very nice program at Church yesterday!
Grandma snapped this picture on the way here…a neat view!

Tracy with her Percheron cross mares…the mares (Ashley & Lilly) were born and raised on our farm.

Feast of St. Lucy

“Lucy’s feast is on 13 December, in Advent. Her feast once coincided with the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, before calendar reforms, so her feast day has become a festival of light.[7]

This is particularly seen in Scandinavian countries, with their long dark winters. There, a young girl dressed in a white dress and a red sash (as the symbol of martyrdom) carries palms and wears a crown or wreath of candles on her head. In Denmark, Norway and Sweden, girls dressed as Lucy carry rolls and cookies in procession as songs are sung. It is said that to vividly celebrate St. Lucy’s Day will help one live the long winter days with enough light.”  Source:  Wikipedia

So we thought tonight would be a good night to turn on the outside lights.

4-H Cookie Decorating Party.
I just had to share this picture from 7 years ago! Grandpa Bob and Grandma Jen had brought us one of their trees and we were decorating.
I have to post these once in a while…I just learned yesterday that my little brother has made 54 dozen of different varieties of Christmas cookies…I am not even close to that.
