So, I didn’t write a Christmas letter but made a 2014 Collage instead! Just in case you haven’t seen it in the mail yet, I thought I’d share it here! 2014 was a big year in our family…with many big decade anniversaries and a crazy jump in travel in the fall! We also had a couple big firsts with Bridget’s First Communion, Emily’s First Year in University and Adam’s First Day of School in Junior Kindergarten!

This is the time of year, I inevitably start to panic a little. Our previous plans to avoid an extravagant Christmas are called into question as we marvel at the buying frenzy…and worry that we have enough for everyone…
Feast Day Fun: Immaculate Conception
December 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
December 8th is the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception. This Feast Day does not celebrate Jesus’ Conception, but rather Mary’s conception within the womb of her mother, St Anne. This special day appropriately occurs 9 months before the Birth of Mary within the Liturgical Calendar.

So, thanks to the new Ladies Group at our Church, I made a new Advent Wreath this year! I know it looks a little like a ball of cedar, but it was fun to make and gave us the push we needed to commit to the Advent Wreath and prayers this year.

Last year was the year of the Jesse Tree for our family!
We made a Handprint Family Tree Banner just for the Jesse Tree ornaments, but this banner can also be used during some of the other seasons of the Liturgical Calendar!
