Silent Night

https://youtu.be/Y9_YXGVmco4

This is a prime example of the text message links I get from Farmer J! Thank goodness our goats are more "silent" than these ruminants! Hope this silly video gives you a little chuckle. 

I can't believe tomorrow is December! While JJ was singing in church and at basketball practice, two little holiday elves (J and Pickle) put up some of our seasonal decorations. It was lovely to come home to sparkly lights and my Nativity all set up. 

The males in my family will find and cut down a Christmas tree from our woods, in the next few days. If this year is like years passed, J will pick out a tree that is way too big for the room it will decorate. A very "Griswold" tree is usually our M. O. 

On Friday, my parents will come over and we will do our annual holiday baking... this year with the children old enough to both be in school.  I'll save the cut outs for us all to do together once they get home from school.  Despite cut out cookies being mass chaos (and mess), I still love baking with them! New this year... using food items to dye our frosting (as we are working hard on eating no artificial dyes in our food.) We are hoping beets, saffron, fresh spinach and blueberries will do the trick.  My only concern... my frosting tasting like vegetables! 

And then, there is holiday shopping.  Below is JJ's wish list.  Notice where he wrote "need" next to items he really wants.  Looks like we will have to have that whole "need" vs. "want" conversation again.
