Here is the long overdue Christmas download!
We started out the month doing a bunch of fun Christmas things that I have always wanted to do with kids including temple square, baking all sorts of yummy treats, dancing to Christmas Music and:
Gingerbread house (from a kit - only $9 at Wal-Mart!)
Merrill's job was the tree and ended up eating most of the decorations anyway...
I finally have Merrill on a morning routine, part of which is coloring a picture... on this particular morning Mark let me sleep in and helped him make a little tree for the big tree and they took a picture to show me! Awesome boys!
It is rather fun to have a girl to put bows on for the holidays! Especially one so cute!!
I am particularly proud of our gift giving this year! We draw names for our families and I made my brother this ensemble... he just got his black belt and loves to cook - I figured he deserved the right out fit for other areas of his life!
This is a picture I just love. Merrill is sporting Anna's new boots, and also a Nott Block t-shirt! Someone (still have no idea who!) made shirts for the whole family! It was so great!
Thank you whoever you are! We love them!!!!!
We had a great Holiday Season with our kids. It is so fun to share the magic! We have had great giving and receiving experience., I am glad Mark has survived the extra holiday hours and that we have a great year ahead of us!
Merry Christmas!
