When we got back from Indiana, we had a wonderful time at my BSF leader's home making homemade bread! We were studying Jesus is the Bread of Life in homeschool, and I thought of Judy, who has made bread from scratch (even grinding her own wheat!), for years. She graciously offered to have us over and show us how. She showed us how many nutrients with unique purposes there are in each kernel of wheat and why whole wheat is so much better for us. There are about 7 important nutrients stripped out of white flour! So when we think of Jesus as the Bread of Life, it really takes on more meaning when we see how much is provided for us in each kernel of wheat.
The boys decorated our tree this year!
We enjoyed getting out many nostalgic decorations, like this musical angel candle holder from Great Gran. \
We hit the zoo on a warmish day! It was great with light crowds, and lots of up-close views of animals.
This seal definitely wasn't a morning seal. He just sat there yawning, eyes half-lidded for a loooong time. He decided not to take part in the show.
The tiger was up and about.
We enjoyed the elephant passage show.

Christmas fun! Love seeing the boys making bread on Judy's dining room table! How fun. And the zoo looks good - if a little cold. Great shot of the peacock!
