A typical December at our house looks like this:
We take the month off from most “typical school subjects” to learn more about Jesus, focus on Jesus, celebrate Jesus, and bless family and friends through hospitality & special gift making.
I am a CRAFT ADDICT… I love doing hands on activities with the kids so here are some
