in the days before christmas



Some things we've been up to while preparing for Christmas!


  • attended Julia's Christmas program [the above picture is Julia coming down from the stage with her class after their performance]
  • watched two adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" [a holiday favorite of ours-the kids swear that the black and white version is way spookier]
  • watched "Little Women" several times [a holiday and everyday favorite of the girls in the house]
  • Aisha spent two weeks scheduling for and running the 4th grade field trip fundraiser at school-Santa's Secret Shop and the kids came in every morning the shop was open to help set up and be my crowd control and price check assistants
  • getting busy in the kitchen making a variety of candy and treats for neighbors, ward members, and for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
  • driving around town delivering treats and treating ourselves to the beautiful Christmas lights around the neighborhoods
  • Aisha and Collin got to attend two class parties on the last day of school-we just went from one right to the next bringing treats
  • Libby and Aisha made pom-pom pets [by American Girl] for Libby's teacher and friends at school
