I find that I have not had the time for posting lately and when I stopped to think about why that was I discovered that because the times I usually post (during nap times or very early in the a.m.) are currently times that I am working on Christmas stuff. I am making a number of gifts and we have been busy, busy, busy here. I thought it would be fun to just post a few pics of what we have been up to in the last week.
First, we had a Christmas party for all of our Sunday School classes at church last Sunday. My teenage daughter and I were part of the face painting crew and therefore had to practice on one and other, but not to be outdone my 11 y/o wanted to help too! I think she did a great job on that Christmas tree...Then there was the candy-cane man...not sure but I think he was in his sister's line during the party. This was while he was at the cookie decorating station.

Both of my girls were invited to a cookie decorating celebration that was fun for them and then My oldest decided to really get into the spirit when she attended her Literature class this week at the library. No worries, the Santa beard was after class!

Last night we attended The Nutcracker Ballet. We have been so very blessed that for the last 12-13 years we have been able to attend this every year. I have family whose employers sponser this event every year and therefore we always get to go to the final dress rehearsal. This has become a huge tradition for our family as we are admitted for free (one year when we did not get tickets and I checked into prices I realized just how blessed we were to get to attend this event free).
As always, my girls got dressed in their best, as did my boys and we went to enjoy an evening out.

Finally, due to the late night out I promised a pajama day today. Mom included. We did school in pajamas and afterwards worked on Christmas projects. That is the week in review and hopefully I will be posting more next week. I actually cannot wait to share some of the Christmas gift projects but since some of my readers are recipients, that will have to wait till after Christmas! :)
