Holidays with Family

Wonderful holidays at our house. As some of you know I am Messianic and my husband is christian. So our kids get the best of both worlds. We did our chanukah prayers,as well as were able to have a huge get together with my cousins and friends. Since we are still staying in the loft ,we had tons of space to have everyone come to the house and just be together. I had my godkids come over and spend the night as well as had a nice sized birthday celebration for my husband. We had a wonderful time. We didn't get a tree this year,which is great for me since I really don't enjoy the clean up ,and the kids could of cared less which was great. They were just exstactic to get gifts as most kids are. My kids enjoyed it all. We had a grand X-mas dinner with family and my husbands best friend. It was great. I hope everyone was able to enjoy their holidays as much as we did. I have so many pics I would love to share,but still have a messed up computer. I should of asked for one over the holidays huh!LoL! Well we are looking forward to tomorrow night. A new year and getting to make new changes. We are looking forward to starting our horizon workbooks starting next week. We also picked up some fabulous magic tree house books. We are getting ready for our Feb co-op meetings and also starting on some of our new history booklets. We also have some science projects we are working on. One is to grow an herb garden and another is to grow some corn in a flower pot. We have also made some homemade finger paints and clay again. It will be great I am excited already. We are working on getting a breakfast menu going for my older kids to begin learning how to use the oven by themselves. I am looking forward to that indepenance teaching. My second oldest loves the thought of touching food and making something out of it that taste good. Cooking is a huge part of our family. We love to cook. I strive to have the home setting my grandma has had in her home since I was little. Well talk to you next year,lol! Sounds soooo long! Blessings and happy new year to you all.
