I hear complaining all the time about how people listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I personally love Christmas music, and have been known to put it on once in a while in the middle of summer. After recent complaints, I began pondering WHY people like to start listening to Christmas music early. And then it all made sense. When I (and potentially others) listen to Christmas music, they FEEL the spirit of Christmas. It makes them feel warm inside for all those Christmases past that filled them with joy, excitement, love, appreciation, family, good food, etc. So who are we to complain and try to convince others that they can't listen to uplifting music that makes them feel that way? Cheers to Christmas music, any time of the year.
And here are a bunch of pictured capturing some of our recent adventures as a homeschooling family.

We did a service project with our homeschool group making fleece blankets for the Ronald McDonald house. The girls were into it for like 4 minutes. They kept saying, "I wish I could have this blanket. It's so soft".
Double sleepover with cousin Kaylee and Christmas decorating.
Sicily was sitting on my lap watching a Christmas movie, chewing gum, and wearing no diaper because she wants to be potty trained. It was a sweet moment!
Christmas 2014 is in full swing in our house. We have had an awesome year, and we feel so blessed in every way.
