Tired after a Christmas party last Saturday I couldn't resist taking this picture.

Christmas is coming!
Look who is hiding behind the presents. Last night I wrapped all the kids gifts and let them join the gifts from relatives under the tree. My girls decided to play house behind them. In order that they actually get to enjoy their presents we let them pick and open a gift a night until Christmas. We have found that doing this means some stuff that could get upstaged and forgotten on Christmas day can be fully enjoyed for at least one night. On Christmas Eve we let them open their stockings. What fun!

Fun in a Hammock
Our good friends the Fryes gave us a hammock on Thanksgiving. We have been having so much fun on it!
The kids and I have been lounging out on it after school. We pretend that we are on a ship and have to fight off various baddies, Lily of course is the ship cat who eats the rats. And I thought hammocks were for relaxation :)

GCC Fall Family Reformation Festival
We had our GCC Fall Family Reformation Festival on Saturday here at my house. It was the best day. There were tons of people over, Pastor Ted was dressed as a priest and acted as the town crier for the day. Most people came in costume, so homemade, some store bought. It was a beautiful day of wholesome family fun with food and activities and games. To top it off the kids learned about Martin Luther and the begining of the Protestant Reformation.
This is Laura and one of her friends Erika (I love how homeschool kids mix with kids of all ages). My booth was one with a tent for costumes, where the kids could dress up and then I had 2 backdrops where they could get their photo taken, one was the purple one with a wicker chair and flowers that you see here, the other was more masculine, you see below. I took tons of photos that day and have ordered the photos online at Yorkphoto.com.
