Dinner by candlelight.
The dessert table.
A Christmas Day horseback ride. (It was so cold!)
Two calves were born on Christmas Day!
What should we name them? They are bull calves.
The cows still had to be milked and fed. My farmers took care of that.
Opened gifts.
Smiles in the candlelight during Christmas dinner.
Faith played Away in a Manger on her violin and Hannah and Nathan sang a song for us before we opened gifts.
Here are the words to the song:
Lord, I want your presence for Christmas
I want your presence for Christmas
I long to feel your spirit speaking peace to my heart
Of all the gifts I may receive there's only one I really need
And it's your presence, your presence, for Christmas.
Was He present in your home for Christmas?

We listened to this twice, it was so good! Now I know Hannah will have to sing with me in Harmony...she harmonizes very well! :) We also loved your place settings! Good Job Nathan and Hannah!
Love the "Special Guest" idea.
Your table looks very pretty. The song is great too. 2 girls from our church just sang that song in our homeschool christmas program.
=)
I think you should name your new cows, Noel and Holly. =) Oh wait...they were boys, weren't they? Um...then how about Frosty and Snowflake. =)
Hannah and Nathan your song sounds great!
The names sound great! I'll run it by the farmer and see what he says. Unless....anybody else have any suggestions?
God bless ya'll!
I loved that song it was so pretty!!
I know I am a little late for name suggestion but how is "STEAK" and "POTATOES"? haha joking! I was thinking "SNICKERS" and "SPOTS" or "ROCKY". :)
Ha ha....those are great names too! Steak and potatoes is one of our favorite meals....but we probably won't eat these guys. The other names are nice too....I like Rocky...that sounds like a "real masculine name."
Thanks for commenting!
God bless!
The farmers
Your children have lovely voices and great harmony. Your table was so pretty - love the placecards. I thought about doing something like that this year but then I just did printouts from the computer.
Names for animals? That always stumps me. Let us know what you come up with.

Thank you Elisabeth!
God bless you,
I loved the pictures AND the song, Nathan & Hannah. We listened to it here in AR at Aunt Joy's house. We love you. Grandma
