Christmas this year was beautiful, wonderful, and definitely memorable. Our Christmas celebrations began on Christmas Eve with the children opening their traditional new pjs. Little Angels John Deere pjs perfect for the hay raking crew and Special Dark. We watched the original version of Miracle on 34th Street while eating some delicious appetizers. After the […]
12 Days of Christmas Swap
I had a lot of fun participating in the 12 Days of Christmas Swap hosted by Sami at Symmetry in Motion. I have to admit I totally forgot about taking pictures of the 12 gifts I received as part of the swap. I also didn’t remember to keep track of what I got each day. […]

Counted
One. One little boy amidst seven girls. On Friday I drove most of the kids in to town for a Primary activity day. My son refused to get out of the van. “I just want to go with you, Mama.” I didn’t argue. We dropped off his oldest sister at the high school to take […]

Christmas School
Every year we take December off from our usual scholarly studies to focus on Christmas School. In the past we have done Christmas carols, Names of Christ, Christmas Symbols, etc. I also like to throw in some fun mini units about snowflakes, or hot chocolate, or gingerbread. ☺ This year we will be doing two […]
Thanksgiving Silhouettes
Thanksgiving, when celebrated with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side of the family is never a small affair. We had 42 people for dinner with three families missing. One was sick with the flu, another went to St. George, UT, and another stayed in Washington. Aside from spending time with family, I look forward to the delicious […]
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. A day to gather with friends and family, offering thanks for the bounteous blessings received throughout the year. Another reason it is one of my favorites is on November 28, 1985, Thanksgiving Day, one day after my eighth birthday, I was baptized. I love to reflect […]
Christmas Magic
The year was 1985. Our decorations were few, limited to a wooden tree that was placed on top the piano (that’s all I can remember anyway). As children we knew there wouldn’t be many gifts. There wasn’t enough money. But we were going back to Utah to be with grandparents, and uncles, and aunts, and […]
Repost: Thanks & Giving Trees
Sorry for the break in memory posts. The baby started throwing up early this morning so it has been a long day. Here is one of my most popular posts from back in 2008 to get you started on thinking about gratitude and service. Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with new reminiscences about Miami. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ […]
Christmas is coming!
Interrupting my scheduled personal history posts…. My kids were flipping through their scrapbooks the other day comparing what they all looked like as babies. We came upon some of our old Christmas cards. Boy have my kids grown! It’s really easy to see when comparing cards from year to year. I love sending and receiving […]
Our Exciting Christmas Project
Mary’s Heart by Liz Lemon Swindle Christmas already? You bet! Around here we do a handmade Christmas. The children draw names and figure out something they can make for one another. Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I think of things we can make the children, as well as each other. And I’m not lying even a […]

Reposted from 4/04/2009 This is another activity we do every Easter as a family. It helps us learn what happened every day of the last week of Jesus Christ’s life leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection. Each member of the family will create a simple chart as the week progresses. The pictures included with […]
Jesus is Born!
One finally reading recommendation about that blessed night so long ago. Stephanie from Diapers and Divinity first posted an excerpt from this talk, “Maybe Christmas Doesn’t Come From a Store” by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland a few days ago. As with all of Elder Holland’s talks this is beautiful and speaks to the heart. Journey […]
