Throwback Thursday Blog-Style #333: December 31, 2020

Welcome back to...

Happy New Year!

I know, I know, Throwback Thursday seems to be all about sharing pictures from the past, great memories that mean something to you, that you would like to share with others. At least that is how it appears to me. Throwback Thursday wasn't something I was participating in, and then I came up with an idea.

I thought it would be great fun and a help to my blog to share old content, but not just any old content. Each week I will share an old blog post from a previous year, any year, BUT it has to be from the current week (for example, something I've posted around December 31st, from any previous year) I will go in, edit the post if needed, add a pinnable image if I don't already have one, and share it on Facebook.

Would you like to join in? You do not need to edit your past post in any way, you don't need to create a pinnable image, though it couldn't hurt, in fact it will help your blog traffic to add quality pinnable images to your posts.

Just go into your archives, choose a favorite post from this current week from any previous year, and link it up below. (If you don't have anything from this current week, it is still okay to link up with a post from a previous year around this time. And if you haven't been blogging for a full year, feel free to share any earlier post.)

Please make sure to share from the past as instructed above. The spirit of Throwback Thursday Blog-Style is to share posts from the past. Please follow the guidelines. I would hate to have to delete your link.
Thank you

I will be pinning posts to my appropriate Pinterest boards and will be randomly selecting a Featured Throwback Thursday post to share next week. Just a note, I will be sharing a picture from your post if you are selected as the featured post, but I will link back to your post. I will ALWAYS give credit and link back. By linking up you are giving me permission to use your picture in the post.

Here is my Throwback Thursday post

Wordless Wednesday: December 30, 2020 (w/linky) - Christmas 2020 Part 1

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I would love to wish everyone a happy new year!

I have lots of Christmas pictures to share, so I will be sharing Christmas morning this week, and the remainder of our Christmas celebration next week.

All ready for the children:

Traditional "Top of the Stairs" Picture

Stocking Time

We even had a stocking full of presents for Callie.

She loved this mouse. It even squeaked. Problem is, we don't know what happened to it.

Showing off how rich we must be to be able to afford to use toilet paper as our game board for our "Race to the Manger" game.

Harold also uses toilet paper as a scarf I guess.

Race to the Manger game

First one there gets to give a present. Amelia was thrilled that she got to give Harold the present she got for him.

We play the game until everyone has had a chance to give a gift.

Tabitha made this blue cat for Harold.

I think he loves it.

Time to give daddy his present from the kids.

More gifts

Melk is watching them open the gingerbread house that is from him. We were supposed to decorate it with our company later Christmas afternoon. Unfortunately, we never got to it.

Playing cards.

Had to grab some pictures of Callie attacking my skirt. She does this every time I wear it. Only this skirt. The poor thing is getting so raggedy.

Looking forward to seeing your Wordless (or not so wordless) Wednesday posts this week.

No button currently, and there won't be one until I can figure it out seeing as Photobucket has changed things. Feel free to still share the picture in place of the button on your Wordless Wednesday post or in a list of Wordless Wednesday linkies. Just link it to my Wordless Wednesday permalink please.
