Christmas Break Is Officially Over

Well Christmas is over, the New Year is here…….time to return to school.  It’s not that I don’t want to, I guess I could just use another week off.  I had a whole list of organizational,  cleaning projects that I wanted to get done, but due to our whole family being sick this last week…….it didn’t get done. 

But, we did have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  Here are some photos to share what we did do on our lovely break from school.

We had a Christmas party with our co-op and made some gorgeous Graham cracker houses.

We made a Jesse Tree.  (I just didn’t seem to get a picture with it completed :)

Family came to visit us. I have to say I am very disappointed at my lack of pictures this Christmas!  We had a total of 5 family Christmas celebrations, plus my Dad coming over Christmas morning, and this is all I took!  Sorry Grandparents!

The babies had croup and the rest of us had a nasty cold.

Well despite the sickness and the chores that didn’t get completed, we had a wonderful Christmas.  We are so blessed to have each other and to be together as a family.  I am looking forward to this new year and all the great times we are going to have together!

  2. Great pictures. Whenever my kids have made graham cracker houses, they don't stay together very well. Yours came out really good.
