We Have Been...
Busy celebrating a birthday!!!
Tyler requested his traditional Monkey Bread for breakfast...and I was more than happy to oblige.
That morning, several friends showed up for a time of celebrating.
The boys spent almost the ENTIRE time outside playing football...they only came in for the occasional hot cocoa breaks...and of course, food!
It was a super fun day with special friends!
Sadly, it was in the middle of our horrible bout with the flu.
Jackson spent that entire day in bed - missing out on all the fun activities...
and then...we passed it on...till everyone in the family had their turn.
Needless to say, we spent A LOT of time in the house.
Thankfully, Daddy played lots of games...told lots of stories...made lots of soup...and bought lots of vitamins
helping us all to get better!
Thanksgiving still had some of us feeling yucky...but not Amy.
She was Miss Baker for the day...she made pumpkin pie, pecan pie, smashed potatoes, and homemade rolls.
And she did a FABULOUS job!!!
It won't be too much longer and she'll have the entire meal steaming and ready for us!
After two full weeks of being cooped up inside the house,
the kids were more than ready to head for a holiday homeschool party!
They played games...made Christmas ornaments...and created a graham-cracker-Nativity scene.
Having spent two weeks in the house also put me scouring Pinterest for ideas we could create at home!
I'm not normally too enthusiastic to pull out the scissors and glue...but these fun crafts were actually a blast.
Amy has since informed me that there are actually families that craft ALL year long...not just on Christmas!
We are obviously NOT that family!
