Happy Monday! Only 19 Days until Christmas🎄
It’s been a minute–our Life Lately has been memorable!
As Grant puts it, “Our Thanksgiving gift was the old Covid-19!” Ha! A week ago, Grant and I came down with Covid. Not really a surprise with the close contact we had. More of a, “Ok now what do we do?” Grant had been prepping for this week for months prior! {One of the biggest for him with work and travel.} It was going to take some figuring out. #workfromhome
How it started…
After a day inside, we headed for the trail!
We both were extra achy after that but if felt great to get out!
Midweek everyone was a bit crazy! 😂 Gentry shredded new rolls of paper towel and Grayson gladly joined the party- it all ended in what they called their “sandwich.”
The end of the week called for Christmas fun and lots of laughs!
Gingerbread Houses
Gentry and I made a barn- if you can call it that. First off, the barn came with less icing than what was called for— so we had a few issues keeping it together. Not to mention that mama can’t follow directions, lacks patience to watch icing dry, and the candy decor was somehow dwindling. #munched 😂😂
Grayson’s treehouse was by far the best I’ve seen since we started making these gingerbread creations a few years back. I think there is something to the fact that I didn’t help him🤔
Grayson and I got up early the next morning and made another classic house together–This time I followed instructions😉
Hot Cocoa & Lights🎄
We waited way too long to decide that we wanted exterior lights up this season– so the only option was Grant getting up there– COVID, snow/ice/rain and all!
No doubt it was a hard week but it’s these times that I cherish the most! What started out looking like a rough week ended in memorable, sweet time, with my family! I couldn’t agree more with the words from my Advent study…
Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, J.C. Ryle
“Let us take heed that affliction does us good, as it did to Zecharias. …Sanctified afflictionsarespiritual promotions.The sorrow that humbles us, and drives us nearer to God, is a blessing and downright gain.”
