I usually go to my favorite tree farm on opening weekend to select my Christmas tree. We didn’t make it this year, but at least we were able to walk the tree home. We finally got a Christmas tree. And a photo of all four of us. I think the door is in focus, but we’re all there and it’s not even a selfie.#christmastime #christmastree

Daddy put up some lights. #christmastime

A rainy last day of school. Hello Christmas break! #jrkindergarten

“And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:16‬

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:14‬

“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:13‬

“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11

“The baby’s heartbeat looks good!” I’ve been sent to Labor & Delivery. Getting induced. #babypending

Guinevere was so excited to get her costume for The Nutcracker!

Describe yourself in #threefictionalcharacters. Belle (Beauty and the Beast) - because I’d be the one walking along while reading a book and singing about it. Anne Shirley(Anne of Green Gables) - “But am I talking too much? People are always telling me I do. Would you rather I didn’t talk? If you say so I’ll stop. I can STOP when I make up my mind to it, although it’s difficult.” and Luna Lovegood(Harry Potter) - I feel certain that this character was based on me. I realized this when I went to the Order of the Phoenix movie during a scene featuring Luna skipping toward the room of requirement. I thought “Wait, that looks like me!” I also went around barefoot and had my shoes hidden from me in high school. You’re just as sane as I am.

We were so excited that pumpkin season had begun! #pumpkins #traderjoes

Lined up with her class for Chapel. #jrkindergarten
