| Our resurfaced dining table. |
Monday...
Lessons, laundry, make chicken pot pie, Grace sniffling,dishes, making paper chains, and time to relax. In other words, a very nice day despite rainy weather and a sick girl. Over the weekend, Jeff and I covered our dining table with Contact Paper! It's a little darker than we wanted, as that was all the store had in stock, but it works great and next time we will search out a little lighter color. Grace says it looks like a chocolate covered donut. :-) I think it is wonderful not to have to have a table cloth all the time.

Lessons, lots of laying around reading, hot tea, more laundry, more rain, and wrapping some presents. Grace not feeling to well today.

| Grace made hundreds of paper chains this week! |

| She'd tape one end to the wall and just go for hours, not kidding! |
Wednesday..
Trevor is getting the cold now. Grace is up and around, making us lunch, but still coughing a lot. Finished lessons for the week. Welcome home from FL, Nana and Granddaddy! We missed you!
We're on break, officially! Made the last trip to the store before Christmas for groceries. Ryan says his throat is sore. Cleaned bathrooms. Made homemade pizzas. Wrote a plan of attack for the rest of the week. Jeff finished wrapping presents. Thank you, Honey!

Friday...
Jeff is off at noon! Today is our baking day. We're going to make cheese balls, chocolate pies, meatballs, cinnamon rolls, and one batch of cookies. The children are doing well, must have been a quickly moving virus. Thank you, Lord!

Thank you for taking the time to read this wrap-up of our week. I appreciate all of my faithful friends who stop by to encourage and leave their wisdom!
We wish you a very, merry Christmas!
What a lovely famiy photo! So fun to see your smiling faces. Sorry the kiddos have been sick; mine had a nasty go-round all last week, too. I like the look of the table--is that where you do school?
ReplyDeleteMay you all stay well through the holiday and have a most blessed Christmas!
Sounds like a good week and glad the sicknesses are ending quickly. Cute how Abbey is comforting the kiddos and lovely Christmas photo. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the family photo! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Very glad the sickness was speedy and they are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat idea for the table. I had thought about having dh use laminate to cover our old one, but I ended up with my grandmothers table.
ReplyDeleteGlad the kids are well now. Praying you have a wonderful Christmas!
Great picture!
Blessings!

I love your family photograph. You are a beautiful family! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the children feel better soon. I read your post too fast initially and thought you wrote that Grace was sniffing the dishes! I knew that couldn't be right!
Hope your cookies and all didn't make you too tired. Stay well.
Sounds like a good week overall. We are waiting to see if our plans get changed today as the friends house we are going to has some people not feeling good. Might be a Christmas Eve at home this year.
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family. And again, I love the picture. :)
Beautiful picture! Merry Christmas to you all.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that everyone is feeling well in your home now. Having family members sick with the cold can be a bit stressful at times.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your family Christmas photo. Is very quite beautiful. You are blessed to have such a wonderful family.
Sounds like you had a good week leading-up to Christmas. Looking forward to hear your other musings for future posts. :)
We made lots of paper chains, too! I'm glad that the sickness left fairly fast. We seem to be all heading on the mend and I'm hoping for a really healthy new year!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week and many blessings for the New Year!
Oh...and beautiful table!
