Six Crawfords: Happy New Year! Sabbath & P365

The Crawford Crew rang in the New Year celebrating our first family Sabbath. We made Challah bread Friday morning for the first time and had a nice dinner. We then had some prayer and a Family bible study. The children where so egaer to learn. I love that so much. They where so attentive and we had a really good discussion on the 10 Commandments specifically focusing on The Sabbath and Coveting. My thought process is that the children are getting ready to go back to school and lots of talk about "so and so got ____ for Christmas" would be popping up. It's always a great time to talk to Children about being grateful for the things they are blessed to have. We spent a lot of time playing games (both wii and board games) I was really surprised that 3 out of 4 girls stayed up until midnight. We went outside in hopes to see some fireworks but we are kinda in the middle of the woods so getting to a treeless area is not really possible we saw a few through the trees and heard quite a bit. We all slept in and had a breakfast and a little more fun time. We then sat down and made some individual goals and family goals for the new year followed by a short refresher bible lesson on the things we talked about last night. We will have a modest dinner this evening and back to the grind. I love Saturday evenings though because everyone goes to bed early for Church in the morning and we have such wonderful fellowship to look forward to. Seeing as today is the first of the year I made a personal goal to do all 365 days of the 365 photo challenge this year. I may not have the time to post the photos everyday but I will at least take them. I made it to 100 days in 2010. So I will share the first pic of the year and some photos of New Years eve & Sabbath.
