Here's pictures of some of the fun things we did to get ready for Christmas...
My girls love to help in the kitchen!! Here, they are finishing off the top of the almond roca.
Here's some of the finished goodies. We tried some new recipes like peppermint bark and cookie dough truffles. Along with some old favorites, the almond roca and peanut butter fudge. Oh what December does to my waistline!!!
I had gotten some crafts that were clearanced out at Michael's. They had done a real gingerbread house at Sawyer's. So these were our slightly less messy foam kits that also didn't add to the sugar rush. I have found that when you have two busy girls- anything that keeps their hands busy helps reduce the arguments! We also made a ton of foam snowmen, but you don't need all the pictures, right.
One night Michael and Alex spent the night to have a movie night with Kevin. This meant that they had to first accompany us to the Christmas light show at the fairgrounds. It's always so nice to have extra sets of hands!
Kacia insisted on having a picture with the baby- not quite sure why.
They were very much into their silly smiles/faces...
...as you can see.
Kaitlin and Ian came to visit, which is always a big hit in this house! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Kaitlin that she would approve of my posting (she hates the candid pictures that you take, but don't warn her ahead of time). But she and the little baby arriving in June(!) looked absolutely beautiful!
Here's us on Christmas Eve before dinner and church (and with all of our arms still functioning!)
The Golden's before dinner.
The picture of K & I is on Bre's camera and Kaitlin's :(
So that's us in the very busy and fun month of December.
