 The nursery leader asked Gary and I (and baby Gray) if we would be in the little live Nativity that they were doing for the little nursery kids. We gave the OK and because of baby Gray’s new varried sleeping schedule I slept right through it.
Gary and I decided we needed to be reading scriptures as [...]

 Olivia loves everything about Christmas. On Christmas Eve we read Luke 2 and Olivia did not want to be left out and took her turn reading too. Afterward we watched “The Nativity” (the 5 minute version from the distribution center) and Liv loves to ask all sorts of questions.

I am determined to have fun and keep up with my blog [...]

 I LOVE my the kids Book Nook! It is the greatest EVER! When we Gary was framing the upstairs he angled the room to go down to the window and the shape of the roof added interesting angles. The shelf (donated from Mammy and Pappy) fits perfectly and holds all of our MANY books. The [...]
