December Happenings

These months are going by so fast.  I can't believe it is already December.  We have been having fun.  We decorated for Christmas and the house looks really nice.  
Tony has been making his famous Chex Mix and the girls enjoyed helping him make it.  They said they love the Christmas traditions of making Chex Mix and caramels every year.  
We also got a gingerbread house kit from Margie.  She kindly gets us one each year.  Tyler wasn't interested in decorating it, but the other three kids did.  They each took a side and section and decorated it however they wanted.  I had some extra candies from Halloween that I got out to add to their collection.  They all did a great job and were very creative.  
They love to decorate the house and ginger men, but I think they like when they are done so that they can eat the frosting and then the candies off the house even more.  It is a fun tradition and I like that most the kids still like to do it.  
I was able to sign up Megan and Allie for a rock-climbing clinic right before Christmas.  They said that they had fun doing it, but they probably didn't want to do it again.  The clinic was only for 6 grade and younger so that's why only the girls were able to do it.  I am glad that they were able to try something new.  It is such a fun time of the year and we're blessed to get to spend so much extra family time together!
