December Daily: Day 13

This Christmas was bittersweet. We managed to keep the ‘magic’ alive for our 8 year old but I think this may be the last year of official believing. Waauugghh :-(

Summer was extremely excited to receive a personal video message from the big guy himself. Exactly what we needed
to keep the magic alive for this Christmas! The snow always makes our neighborhood look so pretty and is getting us in
the mood for the holiday.

December Daily: Day 12

I am loving how this whole project is coming together. I’m a little bit behind but getting caught up and plan to finish soon. :-)

Journaling reads:

Christmas just wouldn’t be complete without watching some of the well-loved Christmas specials. Fortunately for me, Summer shares my love of Christmas specials. We’ve watched one just about every night. My personal favorite is the one with Heat Miser and Snow Miser, we’ve watched that one several times already!

K is for…

Kids, What I used to know about my
My kids like Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches
Summer's spelling tests were on Fridays.
Summer likes to draw
Bryce loves to read.
Bryce likes camping.


Kids, What I know now
Summer likes grape jelly with her sandwiches cut in triangles (crusts are now acceptable)
Bryce likes strawberry jelly with his sandwich uncut (he's a cool middle schooler after all)

Spelling tests are now on Tuesdays. We both have the lists memorized.

Summer is very artistic and has been recognized by her art teacher. She won the award for Most Artistic 2nd grader last year.

Bryce always has a book in his backpack as well as on his nightstand. The most recent book he read is called Ice Drift.

Bryce likes cold-weather camping in the fall & winter. Sleeping outdoors, playing in streams, hiking, playing with fire & knives(under supervision of course) are high on his list. His favorite camping experience has been "Manly Camp" where he was required to build his own shelter to sleep out in the snow.


This is one of many installments on the ABCs of Me's. Each week I will feature a different letter of the alphabet and a few corresponding entries on yours truly. This project was inspired by a class I took at Big Picture Classes (Me: The Abridged Version) which was based on a book called Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life.

Merry Christmas to All!

A great time was had by all at my family Christmas.
