I convinced Dan into letting me pull out the Christmas decor on Thanksgiving. Yay! This was the first year we got to hang our stockings by the fire! So cozy!
Lots of errands and shopping led to this lovely face:
Adriane and Tess
Harry and Jake
Eunice and I
The kids letters to Santa: they each wanted a REI backpack pack, with a spoon/fork/knife, bowl and cup. Tess also wanted a jewelry box with some jewlry. Abby wanted a new star dog. Jake wanted electronics but I put the kabosh on that. Clara wanted "candy".
December was a really busy month. With my new calling Christmas time is an even more busy time. Christmas concert, giving tree gifts to organize and deliver to several ward families, shopping, and dinners to lots of families. Busy. Our ward has several families really struggling with medical problems right now (newborn that needed heart surgery, 2 with cancer, and a pregnant sister who got in a car accident and ended up with serious back problems). I prayed fervently that Heavenly Father would keep my family healthy so that I could do all that was expected of me. Sure enough...Christmas Eve the sickness hit, but all the errands and helping was done by that point.
The best part of December was the news of Aimee coming out for Christmas. Even with her very busy and stressful new job as principle she made it out.
