The whole month of December was very full of Christmas activites. The kids loved getting out all the old decorations we have and placing them around the house. We opened up a nativity set that only had Baby Jesus, Joseph, The Inn Keeper and a Lamb, which spurred the memories of who broke what last year. Mary was shattered last year from that set and Mary broke in half in our other set this year. The kids really like to play with Mary. Courtney pulled the tree over and off the table it has to sit on to stay out of reach of Porter. Only one ornament broke, but was repaired and stuck back on. Mark pulled out all the lights for the outside of the house and only one strand worked. December was really cold (for us) so we had lots of hot chocolate and soup, but of course it is now spring here so we enjoyed it while we could. I decided we'd make whatever cookies the kids wanted so whenever we ran out we'd make a new batch of something else. And, of course, we had Christmas music playing as soon as our Thanksgiving guests left our house. We went to a friends house to do a nativity scene and we drove around town looking at Christmas lights. Christmas was always magical growing up and I hope this last month was just as magical for my kids.
