saturday we went over to luke and tams to spend the night, i loved some of tammy’s decorating for christmas, she has a way with decorating 🙂 this is the tree on the front porch
and all her windows with wreaths
i love how she uses all her tartan stuff, and her red enamel
candles wrapped with rope
this was my mom’s hutch and they took the stained glass out and put in chicken wire, luke was finishing the other door when i took this pic:)
levi spent a lot of his time playing with his lionel train
sunday morning we went to an O Antiphon service with them at their church, saturday night we headed over to bremen indiana…over nappannee , for the holy walk, the town of bremen has had this for 30 years now, they get a couple of thousand people that go through… there are over 350 people that are in involved, you meet in the gym at bremen high school and then they bus you out to the farm for your walk, you are put into families…. it was a nice distraction from all that is going on in daily life! and help us to focus on the real reason for the season:) we walked our way to bethlehem, we were in the family of ruth, we were farmers, 22 of us from jericho:) going to be counted for the census and to pay our taxes to ceasar! it was an hour walk and we experienced the whole story.. here we are at the inn and being told there is no room in the inn
on our walk
we made it to the babe in the manger!
hot chocolate in the barn afterwards, it was pretty cold that night
sunday we headed to wheatfield for the vanderbrandt christmas…pics to follow
