It's been forever since I have done anything with our family blog. The last thing I did was in the Summer time when our harvest was coming in of tomatoes, a lot of time has passed since then with many adventures as well as some enduring times.
The last part of this year was just a blur to me. I was a bad Mother/ Parent where I did not even choose to get out our Christmas decorations to decorate our home with such wonderful colors of red & green. No baking was done this year either. No gift giving to our neighbors or to co-workers, no thoughts of kindness or acts of kindness. Not one single Christmas event where you could feel the love of Christ and celebrate his birth.
I don't know if a lot had to do with working long hours or the thought that I had to go up 2 flights of stairs to pull everything out, and then have to put it all away in just a few short days. My spirits were not so high, in fact nothing mattered to me. I know it wasn't fair to the children not to go all out and celebrate Christmas but they didn't seem to mind actually.
The night before Christmas I had bought a small little living tree/plant that sat on our dining room table, around it I had placed 3 small tiny stockings filled with lumps of coal, candy, etc....Lindsey had the green one and the two boys were allowed the red ones. It was anything super fancy, where hours required to put it together, but quaint and simple. In fact I think the children enjoyed them just as much as they would have if we had a big tree with the train running around the bottom of it and their stockings were full of unneeded things. They enjoyed what they were given!
New Years has come and gone. New Year's resolutions have been made by all in the family. We each have made them, but I am sure keeping them is a different thing all together.
So with that I hope I will make more of an effort to blog here, just a lot of things in life that take up time.
