Peace ♡
London and I braved church on Christmas Sunday to hear the children sing beautiful Prince of Peace song for the congregation. If I had one word to describe my month of December it would be PEACE ♡ – I never want this feeling to leave.
New Year Same Me
As I saw everyone talking about how much change they needed in their lives and how much they could improve, it all started feeling depressing. Lump that with every blogger throwing up their entire archive of the past year I was like this is too much.
Just as I would write you all in your year book, I wish you all an amazing 2019, to stay the same, because we are all humans and therefore we are all awesome!
Happy 2019!
Merry Christmas
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from our to yours – The Birds
Sub For Santa
Today we had the opportunity to give a family Christmas who may not have had one otherwise. Today I had list a mile long I needed to do for my own families Christmas and to start packing, and get my room mothering material all together for Wednesday etc I had a million excuses why it might not work out and then it hit me. These are people, children that need me. We got their clothes at TJ Maxx and their toys at Walmart and we were able to do all their shopping and delivered their presents in one day.
We had the opportunity to meet the family, some years we get to some years just the parent(s). Three of the children were still awake when we showed up and their mother and them had made us a Christmas card. It was so tender and so sweet.
I know my children and I will always remember this. They are the ones that brought all the presents in to them and did all the shopping with us. It was such a sweet night/day to go into a store(s) and have them think of others and not a single one of them asked for anything, and thats never happened.
The spirit of Christmas was STRONG! I never want this feeling to go away.

You guys I need your help!
Today I’m heading into Hudsons class and talking Christmas traditions for 30-60mins. Sounds easy, sounds fun, except for the fact that I am the very last mother to do it and everything I had planned Hudson said so and so’s mom did that and then proceeded to tell me how good theirs was. Dang I cant outdo that I think.
So last night before we went on our date Hudson came up to me and told me to just not even show up tomorrow and his teacher will figure something out.
So after dinner we went to Trader Joes I bought a real little tree and well have the students decorate it and then give to the teacher. (hudson told me this morning so and so did this but she brought in a 4 foot tree and the class decorated it, rats!!!!
I also bought a bunch of JoJoes and will talk how we do neighbor gifts? But I dont know how im going to make that stretch for 30 mins or so.
I also got a box of 60 gingerbread boys, maybe we can do something with that? If you have any ideas help a room mother out!
