December was full of lots of activities. We enjoyed our ward Christmas party. It's always fun to attend and socialize with our friends. Santa visited the party as well and we attempted pictures of the kids. Ian wasn't a huge fan, he ran away as soon as he could. But the girls knew the drill and were willing to sit a bit longer and ask for what they wanted for Christmas. I love how they're both twirling their hair; a nervous habit they share. :)
Audrey's preschool is run by a local Methodist church. They sponsored a program where you walked through Bethlehem. It was really neat and we enjoyed it. They had people from their congregation set up to act out various parts of the Christmas story. I was impressed. The girls enjoyed dressing up as little shepherds while we were there:
On Audrey's last day of preschool for the semester she was excited to bring home her reindeer bag full of Christmas crafts she had made throughout the month.
When I went to pick her up from preschool all the kids were coming out dressed up like reindeer. And it just so happened that "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" was playing on the radio at the same time. She was one cute girl reindeer!
This year I signed up to be Rachel's room mom. My first assignment was the Winter Party. It was fun to go and spend time with Rachel in her classroom. She was thrilled that I was in charge. One year she won't be as thrilled, so I've got to enjoy these years... The kids decorated sugar cookies and enjoyed queso and chips. Here's Rachel with her decorated cookies:
The Saturday before Christmas, Craig and Natalie enjoyed dinner out to celebrate Natalie's birthday a bit early. Chase and Landon hung out at our place. The big kids enjoyed decorating some sugar cookies (leftover from the above party, which was the day before):
December was definitely full of lots of activities. We stayed busy and were grateful for the slowdown once Christmas break started.
