We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our house this year. The girls participated in some homeschool activities and they really enjoyed those. We spent Thanksgiving day together as a family. We enjoyed cooking together and Greg made his traditional cornbread turkey stuffing, and it was very yummy!
It never takes us long to "get in the spirit" for Christmas. And obviously so, since we believe that THAT very spirit lives in our hearts all year long. Anyway, on Friday we started decorating our home for Christmas. We all had a blast and the house looks so cozy with all the decor up! I'm looking forward to hosting friends and hopefully family! I am also preparing to serve others in our community. This is my favorite thing about Christmas. I love giving to others. We are trying to teach our children that it is better to give than to receive. So... this morning, they went through their toys and put many of them in Christmas gift bags to be given away. They will deliver the toys in a couple of weeks, directly to the children.
I am so thankful that Christ came as a baby in a manger 2010 years ago.
I am looking forward to what God has for our family this Christmas
and what HE wants to teach us!
