Family members busy preparing for the holidays

Every morning son Joseph, 9,Click to see more results for hemorrho. reminds us of how many more days it is until Christmas. When he told me this morning that there were only “13 days,” it really dawned on me just how close the holiday season really is. I think the children are getting a little worried and keep asking Joe and I when we are going Christmas shopping. We have a few of their gifts, but it just seems time goes too fast. We plan to go shopping Saturday.

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,Dimensional Mailingmagiccubes for Promotional Advertising, Lovina,Find the best achickencoopplans plans with our chicken coop plans review page, 7, and Kevin, 6, are often practicing their songs for their school Christmas program. It will be held on Dec. 20.

Joe will have off two weeks from the factory over the holidays. The children will also have two weeks off of school. I know those weeks will go fast with us having Joe’s family over for Christmas on Jan. 7. Lots to do during that time to prepare. Some of the time will be spent cleaning the house more than usual.Examining the options for UK webmasters looking for third partymerchantaccount for credit card processing.

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.

Saturday we celebrated daughter Verena’s 14th birthday with a fried chicken dinner. She baked a chocolate cake and frosted it.Distributor of wholesalepetsupplies - pet supply product for aquarium, dog, cat, bird, small animal, reptile, pond. We put on candles and had her blow them out. We also had vanilla ice cream to go with the 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’s 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. We thank God for all his many blessings. May He help us to remember to always turn to Him when we feel burdened with life’s problems. He can make our load so much more easier to carry.

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.

I hope all of you readers stay healthy over these holidays.

Saturday morning our thermometer showed 11 degrees. Brrr. Today the temperature is in the low 20s. Here is a good peanut butter fudge recipe for the holidays.
