So Nathan has spent quite a lot of time over at Kirsten's house the past couple of months working on his "super secret project" for everyone for Christmas. He found some old hardcover books and using just the covers he created new little journals for all of us. He covered them with fabric and cut and bound new paper to go inside. They really are wonderful! Thank you Nathan!

Christmas...

“And in despair, I bowed my head: ‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said. for hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will to men. Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: ‘God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men!’” – H.W. Longfellow


This quote is just beautiful, and full of Faith.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas

"Christmas isn’t about perfection. It’s celebrating the One who saved us from our impossible need to be perfect."
This was on the Simple Mom ( http://simplemom.net/ ) blog today.  I LOVE IT...just what I needed when the time to finish everything is getting short.

Gingerbread House

We bought Gingerbread House parts from the bakery at Reams and last night was construction night. Nathan was at Kirsten's house working on his super secret project, so the girls and Thayne worked on the house. I was happy to watch and snap some pics.  They had a great time and I think it turned out lovely! When I find out what the super secret project is I'll post a picture.
