Weeks before Christmas 2012

A lot has gone on over the few weeks leading up to Christmas. So much so, Dad has gotten behind in up keeping the blog. First off we had a Gingerbread village appear in our Kitchen. Grandma Black helped begin it, ward members contributed more (Two more have since been added by school classes) all decorated and later snitched upon by the kids.


Kaylie was part of the entertainment for our Ward Christmas party, doing a "midget" skit, she is the arms on the far left.

Dallyn's class performed on Ukuleles for about 45 minutes for the School. It was very cute and well done. I especially liked the rocking Santa look and Jingle Bells Rocks.

 

 

 

We did out traditional Christmas carolling to our neighbors friends and family. He caroled to about 30 homes and frequently get comments about how no one carols anymore. The kids love it and it is always fun to see people smile as the answer the door to Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. I believe this is our 6th year of this tradition. 

Another fun tradition has been doing very active things on Christmas Eve to "wear the kids out." This year included a swim at the Rec Center and bouncing at Get Air trampoline park.

The other major going on is we (mostly Dad) have spent almost every spare minute of the past two weeks remodeling part of Scott's sister's home. It was a project that needed to be done and will be a great blessing for their family, but it has taken a lot of time (100 plus hours) and a lot of work. It is almost done and we are grateful to all the friends and family that have helped out.
