Christmas party

Dec. 20th we had our annual Christmas Party

 

Our girls and their friends recited verses and sang carols for us

These sweet little ones recited the candy cane poem

 

Oldest played Jingle Bells

 



Then we all dressed up in our costumes and acted out the Christmas story

 

King Herod was pretty scary

 

The Wisemen sang for us with Joseph joining in

 My three sweet angels in their costumes 

 

Snow storm

Some said this was the most snow they had

 seen in the Middle East in 60 years

Compared to Canada it does not look like much but remember there are no snow plows sanding the roads, no snow tires and most people do not even have shovels.

 We were snowed in our home for three days



After three days being stuck we got our car out and we all went for some groceries. It took us hours to just get there and home. Schools were closed for the week in Amman.
This was one car we saw stuck.

 

No snow days off for homeschooled children. :)

Still lots of time to play

Football fun

 

 We're thankful for the opportunity the girls had to play football this past Fall.

It's been good for the girls to learn about a sport
and about working together with others on a team.

 

 

 

Turning Eight

 The birthday girl and her sisters

 The theme was Little House on the Prairie
Oldest has been reading through these books

I made a log cabin cake and each girl came dressed up

 

 We made paper bonnets

Homemade butter and bread

Hunted for eggs in the pretend barn.

 

 Burlap party bags with wagon wheels and other treats

 

Ma and her girls had a great time.
