December came in with a flurry of activity for our house!
Friday night Jordan and I spent the evening with Kirkpatrick's enjoying our annual Christmas dinner.
We ended the night with some serious casino action...I think Melanie won the most?!
Too bad the Kirkpatrick Casino doesn't pay out in real $.
And how did we not get a picture???
We started our '24 gifts of Christmas'...this is where I wrap up 24 (or close) items and they open one each day. Maybe 2 things in the collection are new and everything else is something we already own...like Christmas movies, books, decorations or else they are activities we are going to do together or things we are going to do for others.
I have a total blast with this. I love planning out the days and wrapping the gifts. It always looks like I've wrapped up the world for them and they are so excited.
Lots of fun memories are in those packages.
I hope someday they remember these activities with great fondness.
Saturday was the first gift and the kids were SO excited to find out that
we were headed to Prices for a day of Christmas baking!
And we baked the entire day.
THE ENTIRE DAY!
We ended up eating lunch and supper there.
All the kids and adults were totally wiped when we left.
Thanks for your hospitality, baking lessons and fun Prices!
These girls were rock stars and never got tired of decorating cookies!
Some of their creations.
And Tori has a little crush on Troy I might add.
Tonight we put a couple of kids to bed with fevers and I think along with the December busyness we also have our first round of winter sickness. ICK!
Here's to a month of fun, memory making and most important celebrating the birth of our Savior.
