Beautiful girl

bit a snow

Grace got dressed all by herself to go play in the snow. Didn't she do a great job?
Of course, I had to snap a picture before I brought her back in to redress her.

"I painting,"

what we've been up to

Getting the tree up was a treat. I'm not an expert at getting our tree straight. Or standing upright. It fell a few times. The girls took turns holding it up while I tightened it, loosened it, straitened it, tightened it again...

Joshua helped hold it up, too.

 Enjoying time with friends...

Creating an Elf-yourself. That never gets old.

Going Christmas caroling. This guy was so appreciative, that he stood up to lead the room in a round of applause. :)

Crafting Christmas presents

 Taking pictures of some really cute kids!

And snuggling with a few of my own



Getting ready

Who has time for blogging when Christmas is only 11 days away? We have been busy crafting in our free time, none of which I can share with you until after our gifts are given away. :)

Making a paper chain to decorate our tree...
