December Chaos!
This month has literally been crazy! It wasn't until this week that we have done anything fun relating towards the holidays! My month has been filled with laundry and dirty rooms

Christmas decorations everywhere!Unfinished projects like installing crown molding in our bedroom/bathroom..And a dirty garage and a house that is constantly needed to be cleaned!!

But now that we are on Christmas Break and Morgan's Driver's Ed class is officially over!! WOOHOO!! we have been doing some fun things!

Maddie's Christmas Party in her Kindergarten class..

We ran into Santa at a house in our neighborhood, cool!! We didn't even have to go that far. Brinley loved it, and Maddie STILL unsure of him!

About three weeks ago Brooklyn asks me "mom do you believe in Santa Claus?" Of course I tell her yes, and then she starts to ask a few questions. A few days later my VT companion tells me that Brooklyn tells her daughter (they are friends) that SC is really your parents. As I approached Brooklyn she tells me that she didn't say that and she does believe a little bit in Santa! I know she knows but won't say it!! Another one bits the DUST! SAD!! I'm not ready for this!

We got all dressed up for church last Sunday. Both Morgan and I sang in the choir and the primary kids' sang the week before.

I love these dresses I got for the little girls'. I almost took them back but decided to add the red sash and got the red sparkly shoes (not pictured) to match. They looked so cute and got many compliments on the dresses.For Family Night we went to Portland to see some lights on Peacock Lane. If you live on this famous street you have to have some kind of Christmas light display. I can't believe we have lived here for 14 years and this was our first time there. It was fun and free.

We hope to do a few more things before and then after Christmas! Morg and Mas both commented today that they can't believe it's almost here and then it's over just like that!! I remember feeling like that as a kid and still feel that way! Happy Holidays!
