for unto us a Child is born

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!  I'm sure the addition of Lydia made it extra special.  It is amazing how looking at life through and with a child gives you a different perspective on everything!  We continued our theme of "Joy" for Christmas, and I believe it was a great "theme" :)  I drank out of my Joy mug each day, and as a new Christmas tradition, I bought a tree ornament representative of this year.  It says "Joy"

Our JOYful Christmas elf!
 In light of finding our own family traditions--we started (and hopefully will continue) a few new traditions.  I purchased an ornament themed for the year.  I also bought a photo frame ornament and dated the back.  How cute would that be that each year there is a frame with a family photo in it (or just a picture of Lydia) and when she moves out one day, she can take her years of ornaments with her.  So fun! (I just need to print a Christmas picture of her--to put in the frame before we pack up the Christmas decorations).

My non-risen cinnamon rolls.  But the icing was OH SO Good! :)
I also decided I wanted to make homemade, from SCRATCH, cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.  I also read where one family took food over to the local fire station.  I thought that would be a great idea!  But. . . .unfortunately . . . my cinnamon rolls didn't quite taste like Cinnabon (like the recipe said hehe).  So we just ate them at home.  I will save the plate I bought for next year's trip to the fire station!!  And I've since learned, that if you put the dough in the oven to "proof"--it can't be over 100 degrees.  Oops!  Mom said I killed the yeast. . . and that's why each roll stayed small and weighed a lot!! But the filling was awesome.  I'll try them again, and pass on the recipe.

We also read the Christmas story from Lydia's devotional and unwrapped presents in the morning.  She had a blast.  It was so much fun, and she enjoyed it a lot more than I ever anticipated.

Christmas may be over, but I pray I continue to walk in JOY and the remembrance of the Savior born for me!

About Me

My photo
Hey--It's me. I'm a simple, crafty, adventure loving wife and mom who loves to learn about almost anything. I enjoy the blogging community and love learning and growing from reading other's experiences. I became an RN (after being a teacher) and then realized I had lost the creative outlet of my classroom. I've always enjoyed arts and being creative, so I began sewing, smocking, soap making, and delving into other new hobbies! :) I live with my wonderful husband who is my best friend and our sweet little girl. Together we have entrusted our lives to Christ and His purposes. So through this blog, I invite you to walk along with me and my family through our daily adventures!
