In December, we began getting into the Christmas spirit. The girls are the perfect ages now to really get excited about all things Christmas. Every morning in December, they jumped out of bed just to change the countdown. (I'll admit, something like that wouldn't get me out of bed before I am ready to be awake anymore.)
The first weekend of December, we went to our city's light festival. They do a really good job of making it a fun night for the whole family. We walked along the river trail and stopped to hear carolers and do activities along the way.
While Jason was in Las Vegas, we did some activities at home, like building gingerbread houses.
These sets from Trader Joe's were great, except for one thing. I am not sure if you can see here what Claire is doing, but she is putting tiny ball sprinkles all over frosting that is too hard for a tiny ball sprinkle to stick to. Instead, the sprinkles all ricocheted off all over the table and floor. Over and over. Those were fun to step on for the following week....
Jason and I also went to several parties, including an ugly Christmas sweater party. We managed to win the contest for the ugliest sweaters, thanks to Jason's co-worker loaning us two sweaters from her vast collection. They are pretty flattering on both of us, right? Must be the built-in shoulder pads.
