More (belated) Christmas Posts

I know, right?

I’m a slacker.

The thing is that blogging days get “eaten” by Cliffy posts and updates and Jill drama and other stuff sometimes.

So things get a little wonky and outta order.

And I know you guys are all dying a little inside everyday that I don’t post Christmas decor pics.

Or the Annual Gibson Christmas Tree Hunt.

Because if I don’t blog about it, how on EARTH did that tree ever get in the house???

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Or something like that.

Every morning you check and still nothing.

I understand.

Or not.

Either way…I snapped some pics and figured that since I had nothing else more creative coming to this noggin of mine, I’d post.

I apologize in advance if this bores you to tears.

It was cold.  We bundled up, hauled out the wagon, and went a huntin’.

I don’t think Lu cracked a smile the whole time.  I think she needed a nap.

Hands down my favorite thing ever: how much my kids play together and love eachother.

Worst, most blurriest Santa picture in the known universe.  I was trying to keep Lucy from standing up and face planting out of the wagon, while Andy paid for the tree, and take a picture.  one handed.  boo.

The completed Jesse Advent clothesline.  That I now realize I never blogged days 24 and 25.  I’m pathetic.  I’ll add those later today and back post them in case you were curious.

Fake misteltoe hanging from our family verse.  This verse is also inscribed on the inside of Andy’s wedding ring.

(“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”)

Do you have a family verse?

I spy a sweet face amid the ornaments.  It made me smile every time I walked by.  Every time.

Knit stockings all hung by the chimney with care…

My mantle was my favorite this year.

Hint: look close.

Happy January 5th!  How’s them resolutions going so far?!

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    Okay, all you Target and Costco wack-a-doodles out there who want to dis big families: The Gibsons are coming, and they’re coming with FOUR now, so you’d just better get out of the way!!!! And stop saying weird things to their Mama, okay? God said Himself that children are a BLESSING. The more the merrier. From our Creator, no less. Get it?

    Jeannett, I’m thrilled for you and your family, but I hurt a little thinking of how much misery you had last time. All worth it of course, but that’s easy for me to say! I really hope you are spared that experience this time! Sweet Baby, please be gentle to your mama. She’s had enough pregnancy misery for 14 babies!

    I could not be more excited for your baby news!! Four kids is an awesome, hectic, crazy, love filled life! I wouldn’t change it for the world, except perhaps with a fifth (if not for my husband’s resounding “no”). Thank you for sharing your happy news on a day where I couldn’t get away from some sad news of my husband’s sweet grandma and that ulgy word, cancer. So, thanks for the smile.

    Congratulations Jeannett! How exciting for your family. We kind-of have a family verse. We pick a theme for each year and a scripture that goes along with it.
