Since I'm so behind on blogging, I took my friend's advice and will just highlight a few things. So . . . in random order: Sledding on Christmas Eve!
I didn't want to commit to sledding because I was nervous about playing so many songs on Sunday and wanted to practice (way to procrastinate Jessica!), but I'm glad we got away. Kaleb said after, "can we do this every day?" Thank you Bettilyons for inviting us.
Christmas program! The primary was in charge again this year. We did a little nativity skit with the kids that probably wasn't the most reverent, but it was cute. Kaleb was a shepherd. He wanted to be the donkey, but we convinced him that Henry was going to be a shepherd with him. It was fun decorating and getting the church ready with Emily, Danette, and Kim. I love them.
Cooking. I wish I would've taken a picture of our 25 Christmas wreaths stacked up to the ceiling that we made. Kaleb was my awesome helper and Eliza . . . well, she had fun.
Christmas recital. I had my recital at the same retirement/nursing home this year and it was fun to hear the kids perform their songs. (Sorry Kaid, Braydan cut you out of the picture!) I was really nervous because Braydan said I needed to perform a song too. At least the kids could see that teachers get nervous and make mistakes too :-)
Ginger Bread Houses. We had a competition, girls vs. boys. Braydan and Kaleb thought they won, but they totally copied Eliza and I.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I'll have to catch up more later . . . .
