We got our Christmas tree up. Clint left for a church meeting and came home and it was just about all done! Lucky him!!
The kids really enjoyed all the Christmas apps through-out the month.
We made a big felt Christmas tree for them to decorate.
And little ones
Cannon sat on Santa's lap too many times to count. The other two didn't dare!
We enjoyed the St. George downtown Christmas Celebrations. They had crafts for the kids, carousel rides, hot chocolate, and of course Santa! The kids always enjoyed themselves there.
Most every night before bed we would light these candles and let the kids pick Christmas songs to sing together. This was always the best time to go over the true meaning of Christmas. It always ended with a hearty rendition of "Happy Birthday to Jesus."
I thought the kids would enjoy these chocolate-filled calendars where they could open a door and eat a piece of chocolate each day counting down to Christmas.
Oh they enjoyed them all right! Not even 30 minutes after we got home from the store Jacee came running in "I found more candy!!!" She was so proud of herself. Not to much later both the boys had ripped theirs apart! All of the chocolate was gone on the first day. Oh well.
They made themselves a grahm cracker house with our left over Halloween candy!
Lots of Christmas light looking
We also made a Christmas count down chain.
Lots of hot chocolate drinking
Cool new Christmas socks from Aunt Colleen.
(Not Pictured) My parents did the 12 days of Christmas for them. They got so many games and lots of other fun things.
Clint and I even got to enjoy ourselves at an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. I don't know how I didn't get a picture of Clint in his sweater but it was hilarious and he won!
The month of December was a busy one. All this stuff on top of Clint being super busy delivering packages like a crazy man! It was tons of fun though and most definitely worth it!
