Well, here we are in December. The last month of the year of 2025. That's crazy. So much has happened this year! Matthew and Daisy got married in June. Mike's youngest brother got married in August. My grandma, Mommy D., passed away in September. Our friend Dave died this fall. So many ups and downs. Three families from church buried children. Grief is hard stuff! And now, here we are. December is here. The time of year when we celebrate Jesus' birth! We buy gifts. We gather with employees and friends and go to school and church programs. All of it adds fun and busy to this month!
I found this on Amazon and I wish I would have been able to do this with my grandma! She would have loved it! It's an advent puzzle! You do one puzzle a day leading up to Christmas. It doesn't take long because the pieces are all already in a small box.
There was a beautiful rainbow over the sky! I see you God!
We set the tree in the living room and slowly getting it decorated!
On Tuesday, we had a ladies shopping day in Exton again! We do this every year! The only thing was that the kids started with a two hour delay and then no school. Us moms made quick arrangements and were still able to go just a bit later! We love eating at First Watch! Then shopping and ending at Produce Junction! Such a fun day!
Look who got to go along! Baby dear did so good! And the skies cleared up on the way home!
Working on puzzles is stress relief!
Morning walks at the park are still happening when we can!
Found myself a new scrub shopping the other day! Austin loves it! Still waiting for a new dishwasher coming this week!
I was wondering if I was gonna get this tree decorated. I bought lights in town and strung one big box. With a tree like this you have to string one branch at a time! It's not the string and tuck in kind of tree. Then the second box of lights didn't work and I'm thankful that I plugged them in before I started stringing them! I went back into town and exchanged for another set of lights. Didn't have enough so I went back to town again for a third box! Really! When it was time for ornaments, the kids were ready to decorate!
Mike helped me hang wreaths in church once again! This is fun but does take time! I love how it adds Christmas to our sanctuary!
And basketball season has begun!!!!! Won one, lost one in a tournament. Austin and I grabbed wings at Wing Stop for our dinner and then watched the game!
This month is going to be full of fun activities! December ... we hope to celebrate Jesus every single day!
