December Flurry

Isn’t December so fun!?!  We have been making a lot of great memories lately and enjoying good family time. We don’t have a TV but recently bought a projector so tonight we snuggled together and watched a Christmas movie on our wall. It reminded me of the old fashion days watching slide shows with my grandparents. Here is a flurry photos (mostly just from my phone- sorry) of some of our festivities. 

Josiah made two geo-boards like this as gifts for his friends. He did all the painting and hammering himself and was so proud to give it to them.

My kind of "snow"

Teaching kids at our Mom's Group Christmas party. There is a nice belly profile for you (:

Josiah's class Christmas program. I laughed, I cried, it was beautiful. At the end all the of the kids gave their "hearts" to Jesus.

Annette kept asking during the play if she could go hold baby Jesus

We went down to the waterfront Friday night to look at the Christmas lights and stumbled upon this concert. The kids thought it was a big thrill to ride the ferry across the harbor and look at all the tall buildings with their Christmas decorations

Skyping with the reindeer in California

We had our first "Christmas dinner" with just our family tonight

Tomorrow on the schedule is ice skating for the boys and hot chocolate for the girls, then volunteering at the church preparing food for Christmas. The kids are so exited to open their presents they are going to burst. Crazy to think that last year in Mozambique they each only got one cheap gift wrapped in tin foil and they loved it. I hope they can always be content to see the beauty wherever they are.
