Folks, can you believe 2020 is almost over?! I feel like the last couple months have flown by and here we are about to welcome a new year. I hope the month of December finds you with a gifting heart and a spirit of cheerfulness. Many have already put up their holiday trees and decor realizing that during this time it’s important to focus on the things in life that bring us joy!  “Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” –Henri Nouwen December can be a month full of warm fuzzies, all the things that make your heart smile. Hot cocoa, twinkling lights, holiday carols, gift-giving, festive treats, board games in matching pajamas, fuzzy socks, crackling fireplaces and quality time with family. Consider making a family list of your favorite things. When you focus on the good, joy tends to follow! Enjoy this season to the fullest while you celebrate old family traditions and have fun being creative together in building new ones. “We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.” -Joseph Campbell

Meet.......... Rejoice!!! Birthdate: October 11, 2020 Gender: Heifer (Girl) Breed of Cow: Holstein Birth Weight: 85 Pounds

Supplies for Santa Searchers 2 empty toilet paper rolls (Never throw these things away, so many creative possibilities!!) Scissors Construction paper Glue Decorative items (pom-poms, sequins, craft gems, buttons, etc.) Embroidery Floss Directions: Cut the construction paper to the length of the paper roll. Wrap the construction around the paper rolls and glue into place. I found that once the paper rolls were wrapped with construction paper, they needed to be hot glued together. It dries faster so you can start decorating immediately, and it is sturdier. For toddlers it is easiest to make glue dots for them, and then let them choose and place their decorative items on. Older children can be independent with this activity and embrace their creative side! When you are done decorating, punch a holes on each side and fasten embroidery floss to create a necklace. Let your child take in all the wonders of the season and try to catch a glimpse of Santa! Merry Christmas!

Howdy 4-H Families, I hope you had a tremendous time with your families. Thanksgiving comes with turkey, football, and varying weather, but it also comes with family. I only say that because it is the one thing we mostly assume. However you thank whomever, never forget the importance of family. I always think of you as family, our 4-H family. You and your little ones are so important to me and it makes me proud to have you as a part of our program. Have a great holiday season and stay safe. Todd Branson
