I hope everyone has had a lovely Thanksgiving! Our family enjoyed the day with each other over at my husbands parents home. Family is such a blessing!
Now as we look forward we see the end of the year 2022 in sight. Wow! It seems time just flies by faster and faster the older I get. Let’s cherish the time between then and now.
Does your family have any sort of traditions you follow? I’d love to hear about them! Some of our families favorite traditions are going to pick out a real live Christmas tree every year. Our whole family goes out together the weekend after Thanksgiving and it’s just a special time for my children, husband, and I. Also, every year we bake lots and lots of Christmas treats! I have 5 children and they each take turns baking batches of goodies with me in the kitchen except the baby of course! But he will have his share when he’s able to walk! 😁 Lastly, is we take part in advent! Our church family does read through the book of Luke together but this year we found a new resource. We are reading through a book called Good News Of Great Joy by John Piper. This resource was shared to me by Marci Ferrell through The Thankful Homemaker blog and so far we are really enjoying it! It’s a great reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
I also have been doing a bit of quilting this month! I made the free Christmas tree wall hanging from The Fat Quarter Shop. I loved it so much I have a second one in progress with beautiful blues and grays with a black background.
Here’s our December cross-stitch Freebie! I’d love to see your freebie stitched up! Please feel free to tag me on Instagram using #sweetfrogstitchery
