The 12 Days of Christmas

Nothing like a Dance Recital to get you in the mood for the Holiday season!

I heard about this idea to get everything for Christmas all wrapped up 12 days before Christmas and then each night spend it as a family to get into the true spirit of Christmas! I love it. We had a lot of really fun activities that we all did and a few really fun quiet nights just watching movies or playing games. I loved that it wasn’t about this mad rush to get it all done for Christmas and then crash, but to actually enjoy the magic of Christmas, the true meaning of Christmas which is the Spirit of Christ and I can not think of a better way to feel His love than being with my beloved family!
We kicked off the 12 days with a Gingerbread Contest:
TEAM 1… Although they had creativity, this feel down pretty quick!

I am lucky to have the family that I have! A wonderful husband and beautiful kids! We had a great year and December was a fun filled month to end it all! We had our ups and downs and it wasn’t all pretty, but because we love each other and have that knowledge that it is forever we somehow make it through by relying on one another!
I am looking forward to 2011 and all that it will bring with our wonderfully full family!
