Catching Up (3 of 3)

 Christmas!!!

 
When Amelia does Savanna's hair...
 
Never ending treats in December


 Had to get my beautiful cinnamon rolls
 
Christmas Eve

 Sound asleep after a long day.  We wiped them out at the church gym and all were asleep by 8:30pm.  Trent and I were in bed by 10 pm and everyone got up at 7.  Sweetness.
They all slept in a fort they built the basement.  So cute...that's Lane in the middle making sure the girls aren't scared.

 Trent's fault. 
 The neighbors have already asked the boys not to shoot the birds at their bird feeder.
 He has named himself the Lego Master Genius.
 
Our Service Tree
This month we made a service jar with strips of paper with daily acts of service.  Each day we would tape the strip to our tree after we completed the service.  It went really well.  I think we found a new family tradition for Christmas time.
On Christmas Day we forced the kids to come with us to a Nursing Home and visit the elderly.  We made some yummy treats and let the kids go around to say Merry Christmas and offer them to the residents.  By the end, they didn't want to leave.  It was a neat experience.
