December, as usual, has been filled with fun events and activities. We've had a great time and are looking forward to our trip home to Washington in a couple of days.
Sunday we had our nice Christmas dinner
Santa waffles for breakfast
Gingerbread men
Red and white swirls cookies
Green and white checker board cookies:The kids are cheering for Jared because, although they had their doubts, when he cut the dough it was indeed a checker board pattern.
I was in charge of an activity at Mackayla's class Christmas party. We made snowmen out of marshmallows.
The boys have been taking turns being Santa, riding a reindeer and pulling his sleigh.
Last week, Bradley, Jacob and I got to go to Mackayla's class for a short little Christmas program. They sang 5 songs for us. Mackayla was a great performer and kept her big smile on throughout every song. Jacob LOVED the show. He was dancing in his chair the whole time and clapped like crazy after every song.
Working late into the night on Christmas projects. These days that means it was probably getting close to 10:00 and I went to bed very shortly after that.
We made wreath treats one night for FHE.
The kids loved buttering up their hands and getting all sticky.
The Sunday after Mackayla's dance recital, she wanted us to set the table nice so her flowers could be the center piece. They did look very lovely.
Decorating the Christmas tree.
Jacob put all the balls on one limb of the tree.
Jacob filled a laundry basket with blankets and pillows and made himself a comfy seat right in front of the TV.
Bradley's favorite outfit is wearing just his underwear. I found him standing on the air vent one day with the heater going, trying to get warm. I had to take a picture!
We had a couple of parties and events this month also. At Jared's work party this year they had a big raffle and we won the grand prize of a new TV! It was pretty exciting. We're all so excited that Christmas is finally here and can't wait to join more family to celebrate! I shouldn't have to go to any more stores or do any big projects or any more wrapping for Christmas so now we can just enjoy the season!
I was in charge of an activity at Mackayla's class Christmas party. We made snowmen out of marshmallows. Santa showed up at kindergarten that day! Mackayla was pretty nervous to have to talk to him. She told me afterwards, "that is why I just like to write him a letter!"
The boys wanted to make some snowmen too when I got home.
The boys have been taking turns being Santa, riding a reindeer and pulling his sleigh. Cute boy!
