Hey Friends!!! I come to you with lots of well wishes for a wonderful holiday! Ours will be a bit different this year…like everything else…but we will still celebrate the Savior of the world.

So this is Christmas…

You know…this year we hung a few wreaths on the fence posts and gate…and decorated a little cedar at the bottom of the hill. It was as much for all the neighbors as for us. It was so fun!

If you look closely you can see the farmhouse through there.

This year has been full of simple things. Basic things. Things of necessity. I’m okay with that. I think that it makes us take a look at what is really important.

The Mister and I celebrated twenty five years this year! We had a Christmas wedding so we always get to take a minute apart this time of year. It was a beautiful night at a trout ranch. The food was so good and the company was even better. Silver Anniversary during a pandemic? Party of two, please.

I hope that all of your celebrations whether big or small turn out peaceful and happy this year. We have had joy and sadness…but we are going to try our best come Christmas morning to celebrate Jesus.

So this is Christmas.

Love from the Farmhouse,

Kelli

p.s Our daughter and I snuck away for a junking break yesterday. Here’s a sneak peek of what we found:

So fun!!!

p.p.s. Okay…carry on then. Lol!

Christmas Cheer

You guys!  I promise…I didn’t move to Mars.  I am here…trying to stay sane.  That is always a good thing…right? Right.  So…are you needing a bit of Christmas cheer?  I might be able to help with that.  Let’s see here…

  
Oh wait…those were our Brussels sprouts from last light.  But…..if you need a very easy side dish that is well…delish…here you go.  Slice fresh sprouts…drizzle with olive oil, season to taste, and pop into a 425 degree oven until browned. Yuh-um.

  
So…we have been going to Christmas programs…running around like chickens with our heads cut off and all sorts of things that are Christmasy like that. We did celebrate our twentieth wedding anni in there. It was an amazing day. I felt very, very, thankful. (And full.  We ate at Zio’s and laughed about all of the food that we ordered…um…for two.)

  
I waited until after Thankgiving this year to put out our decor. It was good…but I felt a little rushed.  Other than that…we are enjoying the coziness of all things twinkly. (And the simplicity lover in me…is longing for Dec. 26th.  Jk!!! Kinda. Okay…not kidding.)  

 
  
I know that I am not on here a ton lately. To be honest…I have had some health issues this year that have symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis.  It has been a long process…and if you know anything about that…it is nerve related and painful. (Nerves?  What are nerves?). Anyway…I appreciate you guys constantly stopping in to check for a new post…even when there hasn’t been one.  I would love for you to say a little prayer (or big) for me…and I would love to feel like blogging more often. Sharing the love of Jesus and the love of family…is my life.  I want to do that for Him.

  
So…that is my story and I’m sticking to it.  God is good…He sees us…and He hasn’t brought us out here to leave us.  That is the best pot of Christmas Cheer…that we could ever hope for!!!

  
Love from my heart to yours!!!

To Tree or Not To Tree

(Warning: The photos in this post have nothing to do with the topic.  You are welcome.)

Ha!  What a title!  Plain and simple, I have a question for you on this week before Thanksgiving.  To tree or not to tree? Do you already have yours up? 

  
Our girls wanted to put ours up last Saturday.  It was way in the back corner of the basement…so it’s still not up.  I used to always wait.  I love Thanksgiving so I like to savor it first.  Plus…the simplicity lover in me can only handle seasonal decor for so long.  (Weird, I know.) We shall see how it goes.  When it comes to my babies…I tend to cave on things that don’t have to be set in stone. I like that about me. 

  
I would love to hear your take on it.  It’s fun to appreciate the perspectives of others. Leave me a comment.  Let’s hash this thing. 😉 To tree or not to tree…

Love from the Farmhouse,

Kelli
