It is Coming…

“It came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags.” – Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas

This advent has been like no other…

There are lights on the house, because we don’t take them down and most of them are actually working. If remodel dust was a Christmas decoration, we’d be the most decorated house in town. However, it is not and we are not and it is weird.

Two halves do not always make a whole. We have half of a new kitchen and half of an old kitchen and the only ‘whole’ it is making is a whole lot of mess.

We are in the Christmas spirit, it just weirdly doesn’t look like it. We didn’t decorate and we do not have a tree. We’re excited about the gifts we’re making and the meals we are sharing…

…and to be completely honest, we also feel a tad old and a tad worn out. (I can hear Team Offspring, saying well you are old, you’re just not ancient yet.) We’re most excited about our Christmas break from school to pour some energy into this kitchen remodel. We’re hoping for more demo, more dust and great, great progress.

We wish a Merry Dusty Christmas to you all,

..and we are grateful and blessed.

    Love your photo of the homestead with the moon and snow! Print some cards up and there you have your Christmas cards for next year! Hang in there with the remodel! I agree the kitchen is the hardest and there is a point where you think it will NEVER get done, yet it will…. eventually…. Hugs to all your family and have a very Merry Christmas!
