| "But if you'd like to hear from her..." HA! Love that line from Batman Begins! :P I feel so out of the blogging world. :( I have been working nonstop on the GGM PDF's for our one year anniversary! They are coming along so nicely, but take up a lot of my time! :) So I haven't commented or posted for days because of that reason. And I am hardly keeping up with Twitter and Facebook. But it sure does bring a smile to my face to see your comments, tweets, and status comments and wall posts! :D Anyway, I thought I would stop in and let y'all know I didn't fly away to Krypton or anything, just staying busy! The life of a Homeschooling College Student! LOL! Thought I would share some CUTE pics I found of the LillieGirl! Man, I love that baby! :) I am not even sure when these were... someone just got them...  LillieGirl: HOLD ME! HOLD ME! Me: REEAACCHH!!  Both: GOTCHYA! YAY!  So happy! SMILE! :) Isn't she a doll? Love that baby! and yes I wear my Poor Girl Hat all the time! :D
Alrighty... back to work! gotta get that whip crackin'! You can always catch me at email, Facebook, Twitter, and then you can always comment and I will catch up sometime! :P While, I'm gone check out the THIRD anniversary of the Carnival of Homeschooling, help some widows and fatherless families, read the January Issue , and check out an AWESOME giveaway. Hope to be back soon!
Love, Prayers and Blessings,

What Happened In The Year 2008
| I am seriously having a hard time grasping that it is the year 2009. Anyone else? 2008 was a very short year, yet it was full of beginnings, endings, hurt, joy, and everything else! God was definitely working and moving in my life and I am thankful for 2008 and everything I learned, did, grew in, everything! Both the good and bad because God was right there with me! I *try* to keep a record of special things that happen throughout the year and I put it in my left sidebar, and had to update that stuff now that 2008 is over! I redid my bookshelf list, goals list, and happenings list. So its a new year now *eyes pop out* and I thought I would do a Happenings of 2008 to reflect on and share with you! So here is SuperAngel's 2008 Year In Review *January 6th Moved SuperAngelsblog.com to our server.WOW! what a year! While it is sad to me that yet another year has passed, I am so excited about 2009! I am really looking forward to filling up the Happenings of 2009! I have a feeling that God is going to some AMAZING AWESOME things in my life! I cannot wait! Living life with God is so great! So what about you? What things happened in your life; both the good and bad? When you post about the Happenings, link yourself up in the linky!

Celebrating Hanukkah: An Old Festival & New Tradition
| This year we celebrated the holidays differently than we have ever done. We celebrated Hanukkah. These past couple of months we have been studying and learning about Jewish culture and all their wonderful holidays and festivities. It has been neat to read about them because our Savior also celebrated them. One thing we gathered from learning and also from Scriptures is that we are only supposed to Remember Christ's death and resurrection. We are not called to remember His birth. The only reason to do anything with His birth is to remember the reason for His coming: salvation. Thus we do not celebrate Christ Mass. With the whole remembrance thing and that Christ Mass was designed by the Catholics to replace and take over the pagan Solstice, we decided we did not want to take part in it. So this year we celebrated Deliverance which is Hanukkah. This year we kinda just dipped our toes in to see what it was and why it was established. We are trying to celebrate our own traditions and not follow anyone else's. Hanukkah started on December 21st and went through December 29th. Monday: We read the Hanukkah story and learned why Hanukkah is celebrated. I gave the family a copy of Facing the Giants. Tuesday: We read the Scriptures and I gave the family a copy of Flywheel. Wednesday: Dad gave the family Worthy Is The Lamb from Nest Family Entertainment. I also gave Mama a Special Edition 10th Anniversary Pride and Prejudice Collectors set. Thursday: Dad gave the family He Is Risen from Nest Family Entertainment. Grandma gave us all hats and gloves. We learned to crochet and knit. Friday: Dad gave the family Pilgrim's Progress: Journey To Heaven. We then discussed the movie and Scriptures. Saturday: Dad gave the family The Kingdom of Heaven from Nest Family Entertainment. Sunday: I gave the family the Confronting Evolution Highlights from the Creation Seminar Series from Creation Science Evangelism by Dr. Kent Hovind.  Thursday morning, er, noonish, when I got up it was a beautifully sunny day! I didn't have any work I could do on Vostro, so I went over to the couch and cuddled  up under LillieGirl's BIP afghan... I was too lazy to go get my own! :P I asked Hanners to go up to my room and get the basket of yarn for me and a crocheting needle. Someone had had a ball of yarn out earlier in the week and was trying to learn to crochet. So I decided I wanted to learn. I had Grandma show me how to start and I couldn't get a dumb slipknot for the life of me! I finally got it and started on my first chain. I kept practicing that for awhile because I wanted to get it down  before I started another one. After I got the first chain down pretty well, I looked up on youtube how to do the second chain.Let me tell you... it is so neat to learn something new! So I have been spending a bunch of time practicing crocheting, well the time I am not working on GGM or chores or work! :D It is pretty neat! I have quite a few projects I can't wait to get started on, but I will have to start them after the new year! See? I wear my hat ALL the TIME! :) Do you know how truly a wonderful blessing it is to have a Grandma living with in a 5mi radius of your home? Unless you live far away from them, I don't think you can know how truly blessed you are! I have LOVED LOVED LOVED having Grandma living with us! Even though she is in her own Shoppe, it is such a wonderful thing having her so close by! She is so awesome and I just LOVE her to death! Thursday morning she came over and taught us some crocheting things and knitting things and then when Mama got up and everyone was together we opened our gifts from her! We went from youngest to oldest, so by the third child we all knew what we were getting! ;) Although we all knew we were getting hats and gloves, we didn't know what they would be! When I first opened mine, I saw this:     We really had a wonderful time learning, celebrating and giving to each other. I loved learning all the history behind Hanukkah and celebrating something that Jesus celebrated when He was human. I would really encourage you to look into and research the Jewish feasts and festivals because they are beautiful celebrations and really have meaning! I am looking forward to learning more about Jewish holidays and celebrating them in the coming year! Love, Prayers and Blessings, Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!! ©AmandaDixon2008 |
