December-

This year we decided to give the kids their PJs on December 1st so they could wear them all year long!! Christmas is in the air.  

Other fun Christmas prep activities included Gingerbread house decorating.  

Canvas Painting with cousins. 

A trip to the Dinosaur Park transformed Polar Express park for activities, Train Ride, and a visit with Santa (minus Cade who wouldnt go anywhere near Mr and Mrs Claus).  Damon wasn't too thrilled to see them either.  

Mom got to go read a book in Cade's preschool class--- and bring an elf surprise for all Cades friends.  So fun! 

Lincoln borrowed Channings Santa suit so he could ring the bell to try and get donations for the salvation Army.  We had to have a photo shoot and try and get Cade and Damon a little less afraid of Saint Nick.  Cutest Santa ever though.  

Grandma came to watch Lincoln in his Christmas Choir Concert.  They did great.  

 Matchy matchy on the church before Christmas-- we went to Church with Nana and Pops to hear Pops speak.  

 We spent a few hours ringing the bell up at Harmons for the Salvation Army.  Lincoln loved it and got quite the donations because of how cute he was.  

Norah and Dad went on their Daddy Daughter Date to the Nutcracker.  This year Rylee and Blair were in it.  Of course Norah loved it all.  

Train rides, and Christmas lights searching. Plus we had another opportunity to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus.  This time Cade and Damon were a little happier about the situation.  

Cade got a special visit from Santa at preschool!! He was a pro by now and we thrilled to tell Santa everything he wanted.  

Pops and Nana prolonged getting a tree until a bit before Christmas. So when they bought a live one the kids were thrilled to help haul it in.  

Nana also planned a cookie decorating party.  We made so many different kinds, split them up, and then shared them all with neighbors.  So fun to spend time with cousins.
