I'm fairly certain this December I took the least amount of pictures on record since Lorelei was born! It was a whirlwind of activities and survival as we juggled a few extra large "adulting" tasks along with the usual December busyness. (Two major extra adulting tasks - 1) figuring out the insurance situation to fix for the upcoming year 2) Deciding what to do with our car situation - trying to fix our car, deciding not to put any more money into her, buying a new-to-us car, selling our dying car...PHEW. Is anybody else tired just reading that? Yep.)
But alas, we still continued our Christmas adventures each day and made more memories! So, here they are!
We loved checking out the drone show! So cool!
(Sorry, didn't get any pics of the drones!)
We took in a play that was put on through a homeschool acting group. They did an amazing job! One of the main parts was even someone we know from church so was so fun to finally see him perform!
This has become a yearly tradition. I decided to go with a village again this year because they can each make their own houses. :) Less bickering this way!
Love this Saturday activity so that Brad can help too, although he doesn't get to pitch in much...Lorelei did all the small accessory parts of the project (her choice) and Makin mostly built the cabin.
We drove around to see Christmas light displays a couple of nights in Dec. Always a favorite!
The kids painted a wooden nativity set and it turned out great!
We enjoyed the musical The Night Shift and even had a friend who was in the ensemble - so special to see her perform!
The kids are motivated to make money and were thrilled when there was a holiday market opportunity for homeschoolers! Jerry and Joyce came out to support which warmed my heart and we loved meeting many families. The kids felt it was definitely worth all their time and effort.
