The rest of the month was all of the extra preparation for Christmas. Samuel's class did another skit and Adam's class needed help with their party. Nothing major happened, just lots of fun things to do in the spirit of the season. The boys had school all the way up until the 23rd! It was nice to not have them underfoot while I was doing last minute shopping, and it's made the whole season seem longer. They go back to school tomorrow, and are not very happy about it. It's going to be hard to get back into our routine.
I've been very lazy about getting pictures up, and I'm sorry about that. Aaron had the week after Christmas off unexpectedly, so we've been enjoying all our free time together as a family.
I took appallingly few pictures this year, but here are some of them:
Our tree was crammed into our living room.
Samuel got lots of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards - that's the popular card game for kids his age.
Adam got his Lego Ninjago spinner set that's he's been asking for since his birthday.
They both got these magnetix sets and love them! They've been making all sorts of interesting things with these.
We all got nerf guns and have had several battles the last few weeks :D It's been lots of fun and we keep finding darts in weird places.
Aaron got lots of new Magic The Gathering cards and these headphones for playing on the xbox. We all love them, since he can now play his video games in the evening without disturbing the whole house.
I mainly got some pretty jewelry and books this year. We also got some new board games for the whole family.
We had a quiet Christmas day with just us and no traveling. I made a ham dinner with all the fixings and lots of yummy desserts (fudge, magic cookie bars, choc. covered cherries, etc.) and we pigged out for a week on it!
We hope you all had a great holiday season, too!
