Christmas Remembering

A special ornament in honor of my dear parents, and my sweet daddy's, "Old Blue" truck.

Stories when our children were young.

Remembering the pretty dresses Mother made for my sister and me. And then sewing for my daughter when she was little, too.

The hundreds of ornaments I made to sell when the children were younger. All to buy Christmas toys for them.

Mother and Daddy making Christmas special for us, each and every year.

My sister and I singing Christmas carols in the backseat of the car.

Our own Christmas baby!

Our children waiting for Santa!

Decorating the outside of the house and the neighborhood glowing with Good Cheer!

Rudolph dancing on the roof!

Christmas blessings!

To all my dear blogging friends!

May your hearts and homes be blessed.

**************

This year I decorated with lots of childhood memories of Christmas past. Santa brought lots of cheer!

But, truly, for me, my heart belongs to Jesus at Christmastime. It is the time we celebrate His birth. I am so thankful.

Merry Christmas!

Today in Kindergarten, we finished up the Christmas Celebration Week by making Gingerbread Houses.

Each child brought an empty pint container, a package of graham crackers, a can of white frosting, and a bag of candy to share.

I saw more than one child licking the frosting off their fingers! Yummy!

Each child had an adult with them - just to help out a bit. I told the parents, "hands off! If you want to make your own little house, you can make one at home!"

I don't think they all listened, though. It's just too tempting to add pretty little candies!

I wish I had taken pictures to show you their cute creations! So many students told me they were making ABAB patterns!

I love teaching kindergarten, especially, at a Christian school. We have such wonderful times together talking about God's love for us, and Christmastime is the BEST!

We are hosting our family Christmas dinner tomorrow. The house is all decorated for the party. Such fun! May your days be Merry!

Tom is a Turkey. Now he is a snowman!

I love the disguises the children make themselves, too!

Parents have fun with this take home project!

Tom is in jail? Oh, no!

Don't you love the bunny slippers!

A pretty mermaid.

Big wheels!

A Bit Of Fall

I've spent some of my weekend time making some Fall fun.

The leaves on the trees down by the pond are turning a lovely golden color.

The fields below have been neatly plowed for their winter rest.

The mornings are crisp and I need to put on a sweater.

I love Fall.

*******************

I've missed you all. Thank you for visiting me today.

May your Fall days be blessed!

This is a vintage piece that I enjoy putting out in the fall months.

The little wood pin is hand painted.

Iggy the Iguana

Teaching kindergarten is keeping me busy! I have 21 little darlings this year, and I am already so in love! Here is a picture of the children with their Iggy Iguana masks on. We are learning our short vowels right now! And, about 20 or so little words, too!
