Monday Musings // Last Full Week of 2020!!

A belated Merry Christmas + early Happy New Year to you all! 😀 Hope you guys are having fun and staying safe this holiday season. 🥰

My sister, Marah, and I went jogging Christmas Day. I was under the impression that our weather would rise as high as sixty degrees (Fahrenheit), so I came outside in shorts and a light jacket. Huge mistake. No matter how much or how hard I jogged, my legs went numb and stayed numb--it was that cold. 🥶 But the biggest surprise was yet to come: it snowed!!! That hadn't happened on Christmas Day in, like, ever. It was amazing!! 😄

We didn't do presents or decorations this year, but we still had a big dinner as a family around the dining room table, so that was nice. We also saved the Silent Night Sue Thomas episode from season one of the series, which we watched on Christmas Eve. 🤗🤗🤗 And Mom made a pan of luscious cinnamon rolls and a couple trays of cookies. 😋

The following day (Saturday), I guest posted on Caleigh's blog. (go check it out, and be sure to enter the giveaway she's hosting right now!!)

Currently, I'm choosing a word for 2021. This past year I used both endurance and follow, and in previous years it's been possible (2019), serve (2018), and precious (2017). I'm trusting God to show me what He wants my next word to be. 😊

Walk in the snow. 🙂
