Time to take a look all the way back to December.
Which means I will have to clear the cobwebs out of my brain to remember it all!
Life was full, as usual.
Which makes me feel like this sometimes, ha, ha.
Here is another cute photo of her.
And another one!
I love that puppy.
Ok, moving on.
(I did already post a few posts about things in December – here and here.)
Have I ever told you all how thrilled I am that I have passed on my love of books and reading to our children?
Well, I am!
We ALL love books!
We still love games too.
We play them all the time, which is a great relationship builder!
In case you think it is always calm and quiet here – nope. Never.
We did not have much snow in December, but when we did we got outside to play in it!
So many things were still the same in December and are still the same now.
Like date night.
But who in their right mind would change something SO good?!!
Blake was trying to use up all his vacation days back in December before the end of the year, so sometimes we would date in the morning too!
I love when he helps me with grocery!
We also grabbed some kiddos for date night here and there.
These two demanded ice cream, just saying.
But they were SO much fun!
Having Addie to ourselves was an extra special treat!
This is what you look like when your Mom plans a grilled meal in the middle of December.
Don’t worry, he loved grilling for me!
We had our church’s Christmas program in the middle of December.
It was AMAZING.
I still get chills when I think back on it!
This past year has brought out a lot of ugly in this world, but I’m here to tell you it has also brought out a lot more boldness and passion in good people to do right by the Lord too.
Our Christmas program is brought together by people just signing up to share something, and it was OVER THE TOP this year!
Our pastor’s families did the very last song, and it was truly the grand finale.
SO, so good!!
Chad and Addie joined some friends to share as well!
We also had a candle light service on Christmas Eve.
My favorite, all time favorite, service of every year.
Our church can really sing!!
There were appointments in December.
As always.
There was hunting in December.
I do have a house full of guys, after all!
These two are checking the photos from their trail camera.
We filled our days with all kinds of other things too – naps, crafts, play, a few shows here and there…
Fixer to Fabulous is our favorite show!
There were some warm days in December!
But our chickens are still in the garage all winter no matter what.
They are doing great though!
We receive so many sweet gifts in the mail here and there and I am always so humbled by the love that just oozes out of the packages as we open them!
This is one that came in December.
Thank you, sweet friends!!!
We also got a new computer in December, because our old one was a dinosaur!
It would not support the things we were trying to use it for, like on-line school and this little blog of mine.
Lane enjoyed helping install the new one for sure.
My little techie.
December, you were good to us!
It was a wonderful month!
Next up will be a post about God’s protection for our family.
As usual, we have so much abundance to be thankful for!
Hope you all had a great month of December too!!
