December 2015

We started December off by decorating the house for Christmas.  This is always a major undertaking in our house.  I actually start with the kids' artificial trees in November and finish everything else once we get the live tree for the great room.

Our tree ended up being a little too tall and too wide for our space.  We had to cut quite a bit off the top, and our angel would not fit.  Emma made us a beautiful yellow star out of her construction paper, and that worked just fine.

Emma and Jackson decorated a gingerbread house one Sunday.  We don't ever eat our gingerbread houses since we use them as decorations.

Emma started Futsal at the YWCA.

Even though our great room is small, we still cram our Christmas tree in every year because we all love to enjoy it every night.

Emma's entire second grade put on a winter musical called Santa's Holiday Playlist.  Emma had the speaking part from her class, and she totally rocked it.  We were so proud of her!

Since A Charlie Brown Christmas turned 50 this year, we definitely had to have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree! :)

JC and I hosted the annual BFF Christmas get together.  There's never a dull moment!

Our December was unusually warm thanks to El Nino!  We had temps in the 70s for several days.  I enjoyed some time out on our porch in flip flops. :)

The Sunday before Christmas, we went to church and then made treats for the neighbors!
