December Week 1

This week we were still a little
down and out with our various illnesses.
We did not go out for homeschool co-op.
The kids still did go to SCOPE.
Matthew went to violin and practiced
all his Christmas music.

I started reading from the New Testament
and the stories of how Mary and Joseph
became parents :)

We made salt dough ornaments
for the tree and decorated them.

Then we decorated our Christmas tree.
You'll notice our LV showed up in the tree
this week as well.
Tillie said this year she was
"a little afraid of LV and Santa!"




Tom has been hunting more this
November and December.
He has really inspired the boys.
They had an opportunity to go with
him and sit this year.  We have several
friends in town that are generous enough
to let us hunt on their properties.
With the help of a good friend
 our family has learned
how to butcher our own venison.
This has been a great lesson for
the kids to see and experience
from field to table.  This
is really top priority for me.
I am very thankful of Tom for
bringing these skills to our children.





We are so blessed.



Until next week
