Getting ready for the Holidays

Getting ready for the holidays can always be busy. Our family has had one of those busy weeks. It seems like Thanksgiving was a long time ago, when it was only last week. First, the family Christmas photos with 3 kids (maybe 4 of us)! Need I say more.



While I was at school the kids made some Christmas ornaments. When I walked in the door the house smelled like cinnamon. They used cookie cutters to cut out a cinnamon concoction. Liam had a lot of fun using a straw to cut holes in the ornaments.


Brooke has been working very hard on an advent calendar. She and some friends have been up very late trying to get it all ready.

The advent calendar looks great. Maybe we could do it for Super Saturday next year?
Ornaments look great too.
