Since we didn’t have a chance to decorate Gingerbread Houses on Christmas Eve this year, we decided it would be the perfect way to spend New Year’s Eve!
Gingerbread Fun on New Year’s Eve!

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me
Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.

Happy New Year Jessica! Those turned out great and I just LOVE the girl's in their Christmas dresses and headbands! They are beautiful! I wish I could love on your precious little gigerbread man 🙂 Peace in Christ, Lori
What a wonderful way to spend New Year's Eve! I love Bud's sweet little outfit! Makes me think of Jan Brett's book 'Gingerbread Baby'. 🙂 The houses all look fabulous.
A Happy and Blessed new year to you all 🙂
They all look wonderful! (the Nativity is my favorite 🙂 Merry Christmas and wishing you God's blessings in the new year.
Jessica… you are beyond amazing! Happy New Year! Love, Annita +JMJ+
Tell the kids they did great making the houses! I love the uniqueness of them all! Happy New Year!! 🙂 P.S. Bud is the cutest baby I have seen since my last baby was born. 🙂 God's Blessings to all of you this year.
I'm looking at all your pictures with my three old on my lap. She is enthralled with the gingerbread houses! 🙂
