We had a wonderful Christmas season. I tried to say ‘Yes’ more than ‘No’ during this month.
And because of that we had the best month, one full of beautiful memories.
We went to our town’s Christmas parade which we haven’t done in a couple of years. And ate dinner at one of our favorite sandwich shops.
We served Christmas dinner for over 250 people at our downtown rescue mission.
We went to church to the kid’s showing of “Polar Express” in footie pjs!
We went to the boat Parade of Lights and then looking at Christmas lights and out to eat with our dear friend Patsy. (who was my Mom’s best friend)
Keilee and her princess friends were in a Christmas parade in a town near us. They rode on a float and threw candy. Fun was had by all!
Keilee went to eat lunch right before Christmas vacation with her favorite little girl in the world. She surprised her and she was beyond ecstatic.
We took selfies. 🙂
We went to our downtown and watched this amazing 3D light show on the Old State Bank. Then we walked through downtown and ate dinner with some of our favorite people.
Keilee fell in love with my cousin’s new Lab while delivering a crochet order to her.
We took photos with Keilee wrapped in lights. Because we thought it looked cool.
Keilee taught kid’s church every Sunday. She taught over 100 kids per service and also led a small group of girls in 4-5th grade. She LOVES this and even made each of her ‘girls’ a goodie bag for Christmas.
She had a great idea of ringing the Salvation Army bell dressed as Elsa. I took her to the main office and she met with the director and he told her she could. She asked the girl who plays Anna and they both spent over an hour walking around the mall taking pictures with tons of kids and then ringing the bell for 2 hours. And Keilee did it all in 6″ heels. She’s kinda my idol.
We had the most wonderful Christmas morning complete with great gifts for each other. And Nomad.
We plays tons of Board games, baked for friends and family, read Christmas picture books aloud, listened to Christmas music almost non-stop, watched tons of Hallmark Christmas movies and so much more.
So from us to you, we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
It was one of our favorite Christmases to date.
But…we are both ready to get back to ‘real life’.
Bring on 2016!!
Homeschooling Rocks!

It looks wonderful. Love it when you post a bunch of pictures!!
It’s been fun watching Keilee grow up. 🙂
Sounds like a lovely holiday season. We took the month off from Algebra and some other things and said yes more than no, as well. I am becoming more and more aware that time is fleeting and before long…the girls will be in college and December will mean exams for them, so I hope to make the most of all the Christmas seasons we can before then!
I am also to get back to a regular schedule and see what 2016 brings!
I am ready to welcome in 2016. 2015 was a great year and the holiday season was the perfect way to close the year. I’m looking forward to what the 2016 holds in store for our girls (and us!)
What a lovely time you had this month. It all looks so joyous and happy. Wishing you both a spectacular 2016.
What a beautiful month of memories that will carry you into the new year. You were a blessing to many as well.
It sounds like the perfect Christmas! Merry, Merry Christmas to the most lovely off people!
So pleased that you had a wonderful month. Nomad was obviously more cooperative than Basil. We got reindeer antlers on him, he was sitting beautifully and I pushed the button on the camera. At that exact moment Basil heard Mr 18’s car arrive and rushed off to meet him. Result? A blurred photo of the dog’s neck! Later attempts were met with a firm rejection so no dog in antlers photo for us I’m afraid.
Merry Christmas! It is always wonderful to see what you all are up to.
Blessings, Dawn
