December, Where are you going?

I knew this would happen. It happens every year. After Thanksgiving, time just starts to fly. So, here we are almost half way through December, and I haven't updated! I don't know if I can remember all that we've been doing! So here goes,

Matt's Christmas Party for work

We always enjoy their party since we get a great meal, door prizes, and the kids get a toy picked out just for them by Santa. ;-)Luke tries to measure up to the nutcracker.

Caleb tells Santa that Joshua is his brother, like Santa doesn't already know that, right?

Caleb's birthday party
Caleb turned five! We had a Diego party, and we had a magician come for a visit. Here is Caleb helping the magician with a trick. To set up the video, Caleb has just helped the magician pull a scarf rabbit from a scarf hat. Now, they will attempt to make the rabbit disappear.

Joshua's end of the year program
Joshua's fine arts classes had a program to show off their skills. The chorus sang, Joshua played piano, and his drama class did a cute skit. We all got to enjoy cookies and punch afterwards. We are so blessed to have a school that will welcome homeschoolers for one or more classes. We hope to continue our relationship with this school for years to come.

Cookie baking
We made a batch of cookies for a cookie swap at MOPS. The boys still love to lick the bowl. You can definitely tell they are related to me!

We still have another Christmas party (adults only, woo hoo!) and Christmas right around the corner with a trip to the hometown. I hope you all are enjoying this time of the year. We are counting our blessings and remembering the reason for the season!

Merry Christmas!
