Here comes Christmas!

It's the first of December and our halls are fully decked out with Christmas cheer. Stay tuned for a Christmas home tour in the coming days.

This year we are starting a few new traditions.

First we are celebrating the birth of Jesus by making him a birthday cake. We thought this would be a good way of teaching E about the true meaning of Christmas. She is fully aware of her birthday, as we just celebrated it, and seems excited about the cake!

Second, on Christmas eve we are making a point of reading Luke 2, the story of the birth of Jesus.

Last, in honor of hubby's Polish heritage, we are breaking the Oplatek wafer. This is a Polish tradition of blessings to friends and family and remembering what Christmas is all about.

What traditions do you and your family enjoy at Christmas?

Step away from the Pie!

It's the day after Thanksgiving and the leftovers are calling, especially the yummy pies! We were sent home with a pecan pie. After making my way through a fourth of the pecan pie, on my own! I took control of the situation and tossed the pie out. Now I know what you are thinking, wasting a perfectly good pie like that?! I can explain. Hubby does not at all costs eat pecan pie, and we will not have any visitors in the next few days. I knew that if the pie were to be eaten, it would be all me, and I can't have that! Many of you may not know, but I have been trying to lose the nearly 70 pound weight gain I had during my pregnancy! I have accomplished this goal, and now I am working towards what I like to call my wedding weight. 25 more pounds to go and I will reach my goal.
So don't feel bad about tossing the pies out. Remember Christmas is just around the corner!
