No.207: Books & Family Goals for Epiphany 2019

This post contains affiliate links.


Our third annual Epiphany dinner!  As we ate our pot roast and potatoes, we chatted about our family goals from 2018 and what we’d like to work on in the new year.  Our top three are:

  • Work as a team and cooperate.  
  • Spend more time outside. 
  • Create habits to make Sundays truly a day of rest.

After dinner, everyone ripped open their gifts wrapped in gold paper and cozied up by the fire.  I love this sweet tradition and how it ends the Christmas season on such a high note.  Our Epiphany books for 2019:

MARK – 
The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity by Taylor Marshall

ASHLEY – Find the Good: Unexpected Life Lessons from a Small-Town Obituary Writer by Heather Lende

M (age 12) – 
13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi by Mitchell Zuckoff

D (age 10) – Edge of Extinction #2: Code Name Flood by Laura Martin

J (age 8) – The Saint Chronicles, Collection 1


S (age 6) – Science! STEM Sticker Adventure

TJ (age 4) – Dinosaurs Seek & Find by Romain Amiot and Loic Mehee

P (age 2) – Chugga Chugga Choo Choo by Kevin Lewis
