Homestead Happenings

It's the most wonderful time of the year..

Yes that's right we are on Christmas vacation from school!  How I like this break.  The children and I sat down this morning and (well, OK it was almost noon but we ARE on vacation) we drew up our plan on what we wanted to do before Christmas.  Most of our list is of cookies to bake and gifts to make.  I am a list-maker so that us what I did.

We also are having a Chrsitmas party with our congregation so there is a list of things to make for that as well.  Our Keepers Of The Faith troop is doing a Nativity Play for the party.  Kit is the student director since she wrote the play.  Handsome Hubby is the Parent Overseerer.    All of the girls have parts.  They wanted to use MiniMan for Jesus but they were told know by Handsome Hubby.  You see they tried that last year and it did not go well.  Screaming and crying do not a good Jesus make.  Since Miniman is now stronger and able to yell "NO" very loudly he decided it would be better that they use a doll.  The children opted to use another toddler from the congregation who is MUCH more mellow.  She is very suited for the role.  Me?  I am the seemstress.  It took a while but all the costumes are done.  Yippe.  Check one off the list.  I like checking things off my list. 

There are still pictures to take, a Chrsitmas letter to write, and things to bake and make.  It is all a part of the fun of this time of year.  To me, the trick is to not stress yourself but to keep your list to the enjoyable.

May your Christmas be a time of love and fun with your family and pleasing to your Lord.   I will write more on that later.

Good for you for taking a 'planned and real' vacation! We are going to keep going until Christmas, more of less. I like to take extended time in spring and enjoy the weather. Are we going to get together in the next couple of weeks for a playday?
