Obviously part of getting ready for Christmas is getting a Christmas tree. I can't quite remember why we didn't get one the weekend after Thanksgiving like we normally did, but the following weekend was very wet and rainy and it didn't sound like fun to go out and hunt for a tree. So Kyle went and grabbed one from the local nursery while he was out running a few errands! Kim came over and we rearranged the living room and were all ready for the tree.
The next weekend Grandpa and Grandma took everyone to a local theater production of Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer. It was really cute and everyone came over for pizza afterward.
The girls were all in a Christmas Program at church. Lydia was a camel and sang Away in a Manger with her friends, Haleigh was an angel, and Annaliese was a 'wise-woman.' They both participated in a skit, acting out the Christmas story.

On the first day of Christmas vacation, we invited the cousins over for a pancake breakfast. Each kiddo invited a friend to come along! Kyle made pancakes and bacon on his new outdoor griddle and then the kids spent a few hours playing...they even ventured outside for some soccer despite the cold and windy weather!
As I was going through some of the girls' papers that they came home from school with, I came across this one in Haleigh's backpack.  |
It's hard to read...
