Let’s forget the fact that some of the events happened nearly a month ago. I’m just getting around to posting about our jam packed December.
It started out with a Christmas party for BK’s dance class. We showed up empty handed, no Pinterest worthy goodies, we just ran out of time this year. You should have seen BK and Sophie’s face when they both realized their moms showed up empty handed. We’ll make up for on Valentine’s Day.
We attended our local Christmas parade and both kiddo’s had a blast. BK waved at everyone as they passed and Jud just watched from the comfort of his stroller. We grabbed breakfast after the parade and Jud showed us his new skill, waving and saying “heyyyy” to everyone who passed us by at the restaurant.
After breakfast we headed to our church for a little Christmas caroling. BK was pretty excited to get to ride on the fire truck with Santa Claus, it pretty much made her year!
The next morning, we met our church at a local nursing home for more caroling. BK was the star of the show when she recited her version of Luke 2, she’s been practicing for weeks and she did a fantastic job. We were all so proud of her.
We celebrated Christmas with my dads family, and Jud showed us just how fun Christmas would be this year. He dove right into opening gifts, but in the end he was more interested in eating the paper than the actual toy.
I had an annual baking day with my mom and grandmother, and it was as dun as always. We made a double batch of cinnamon rolls, sausage balls, and homemade hot chocolate mix.
Christmas Eve brought more fun times for our family. We had Christmas with Allen’s family before heading to my grandparents house for Christmas with my moms family. Allen decided to wear this lovely tacky sweater to Christmas. He definitely made everyone laugh all day!
We headed home to read Twas The Night Before Christmas, prep breakfast casseroles, play Santa, and try to get some sleep. As sad as I am that Christmas has come and gone, I’m always happy for a fresh start and a new year. We’re busy planning two big parties in April and Disney trip in May. For now, we’re just enjoying this slow time of year. And crossing our fingers for at least one snow day this winter.
