The Eighteenth Day of Christmas!

Tonight we went for a ride on the miniature train and to the zoo's Jungle Bells! It was so fun!!

Give Unto Others

Something we like to do every year is to take some food downtown to pass out to those less fortunate. Since it's been so chilly the past week, I decided I would make something hot to give out. Joli helped me make it.

 She was a great little helper!

 Markus was a little moody, but he still pulled it together enough to help.

 There were also some fun things to look at.

 Once we finished handing out what we had, the kids climbed around and expelled some energy.

The kids really enjoyed helping others. I just wish that we could do it more often!

The 10th and 11th Day of Christmas

On Wednesday Markus and I made a bunch of things. He made candy cane reindeer!

 "Hot glue is HOT"

 I moved the doll house out of Joli's bedroom into the living room, and Markus has just been loving it!

 Markus helped me decorate the presents too!

 Joli and I spent a lot of time practicing on her new sewing machine. She did so great!

 It rained almost every day this week, and it was wonderful!

 Except for Brody, he didn't think going to the bathroom in the rain was all that great!

 Markus did a great job helping us make presents too!

It was such a great time!
