Markers that we will remember this year by...........
Scot's dream of having the boys wear bow-ties to church happened. Oh and they looked so very "dapper"!
Jack got some patterned socks. Jess got a wookie book (how to communicate wookie style).
Olivia got enough cheetah to fill a girls ensemble, even riding her bike in style!
Josh decided he really didn't like sushi. Note to parents: Stick to the traditional "mexican dinner" for Christmas eve. Sushi wasn't a hit.
Mom decided that wrapping ALL the gifts was much easier. So easy that she almost forgot to fill the stockings!
Getting up early to arrive at church by 8:15 am. was not exactly the option we would have choosen, but it was the best start to our day. The kids favorite part of the meeting was watching their Mother go up and sing (with a small group) Silent night in Japanese. Mom doesn't sing! Especially not in Japanese. It was comical.
We felt the spirit of Christ all through the month.
All activities of the weeks prior were filled. Filled with those moments that help us remember the reason for the season.
What a blessing to be alive!
Let the Festivities begin.......
Two minds think alike.......Scot and I gave each other the same gift! That's funny. We love our local reflexology center and each decided to give massages. More the merrier! Love that man.
Our "FAMILY" gift was a good surprise. A surprise that Scot worked to put together in our spare garage nights before. It was hard to get it to this location in our home. Only temporary housing. The back patio will be it's home soon.
It wouldn't be Christmas without our healthy breakfast.
We have almost 2 weeks of pure fun. No school. Lazy mornings. Late nights playing games with family. Much R&R.
Merry Days!!!!!
