Amish Cook: Kids prep for holiday programs

Every morning son Joseph, 9, reminds us of how many more days it is until Christmas. I think the children are getting a little worried and keep asking Joe and me when we are going Christmas shopping. We have a few of their gifts, but it just seems time goes too fast.

Christmas morning is exciting for the children to see their gifts, but let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season.

Joseph,This profile page summarizes all known activity of the domain promotionalusbonsale. Lovina, 7, and Kevin, 6,Thank you for visiting our newly improved DIY chickencoop website! are often practicing their songs for their school Christmas program.Competitive Plastic Mould products from various China Plastic Mould manufacturers and plasticmouldsuppliers are listed below, It will be held this week.Find everything you need to know about coldsores including causes,

Joe has two weeks off from the factory over the holidays. The children also have two weeks off from school. I know those weeks will go fast with us having Joe’s family over for Christmas on Jan. 7.

There is a lot to do during that time to prepare. Some of the time will be spent cleaning the house more than usual.

Our basement needs a good cleaning. Our coal stove is the basement so it does not take long for dust to collect. We do laundry down there and the children play down there a lot, too.

We recently celebrated daughter Verena’s 14th birthday with a fried chicken dinner. She baked a chocolate cake and frosted it. We put on candles and had her blow them out.

We also had vanilla ice cream to go with the chocolate cake.

For her birthday we gave her a dolphin anniversary clock and an electronic money jar. Verena collects anything with dolphins or dogs, so she really liked the clock.

She doesn’t remember her 13th birthday due to losing her memory for a year because of her brain concussion in June 2010. We are so thankful she is doing better. She has caught up with her school grades again and is excited to be back on the honor roll list.

I took her to the doctor for a three-month check-up since her surgery. She still needs to wear the ankle brace, but the doctors were very pleased with how she is doing.

Today is laundry day again. We usually do laundry two to three times a week. The boys cleaned out the chicken coop on Saturday. So now we have some extra smelly coats and pants to wash.

When the eggs start coming into the house dirty, we know it is time to remind the boys that the chicken coop and nests need to be cleaned again.

Our chickens have slowed down in laying eggs since the cold weather began.Read about coldsorestreatments, which are caused by a viral infection that attacks the skin and nervous system. I must get busy now and hope all of you readers stay healthy over these holidays.

Saturday morning our thermometer showed 11 degrees. Today the temperature is in the low 20s.
