The busyness' of the season.

 I think that is what we all feel like doing now that the busyness' of the season has passed. Jaylee has the right idea.  I know I could use a nap.  I prayed that we would make it through all the parties, recitals and having company at our house without getting sick.  Christmas Eve Kenna puked, last night AJ puked, Brylee has a bad cough and I have a sore throat.  I am thankful my prayers were answered and we mostly made it through the month without getting too sick.

December was a busy one for us.  Here are a few highlights.

 The decorations. I LOVE putting up my Christmas decorations.  I love having my tree all done up with our random ornaments that all have some kind of meaning to them.  This year I made new stockings and a tree skirt to match.  I learned that I struggle sewing denim and I do not enjoy trying to sew in a circle.  But all in all I think they turned out pretty good.  Glenn was sweet and helped out where he could.  He is so great at supporting me though stuff like that.  I love it!

 Instead of gingerbread houses we did Christmas trees this year.  It was fun.  The girls asked everyday if they could have candy from their tree.  One day I got sick of them being there and tossed them in the garbage, they never even noticed.  Funny huh?

Fun idea from 'pinterest'. 

 Ward party.  AJ was an angel and Glenn was Joseph.  It was an interesting party but a great memory for our family.

 Primary got to sing on stage.  This is Brylee's first year being in primary so she loved the opportunity.

 We brought a blanket to sit on to watch the nativity story.  It turned into a big play toy.  It was a bit crazy.  But the girls had fun.

I love the 'busyness' of the holidays.  I know some people get overwhelmed etc... but I love it all.  I love the parties, planning, friends, food, decorating, shopping for that perfect gift (I could live without wrapping the presents lol), snow, recitals, music and mostly FAMILY!
