Christmas Fun

We've had some Christmas Fun the last week or two on the days I babysit....

Christmas photo booth, gift exchange, Gingerbread Trees, playing outside, songs with instruments, hot cocoa and Christmas stories.

Snow!

Little Dancers

Thanks to Elizabeth, who organized a local dance group here in Colon, the girls have been practicing since October for their first performance.  They danced on stage at the Elementary School, during Christmas in Colon.  They did a great job and loved being on stage!  Look at those smiles :)

Thanksgiving 2013

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Dorr, with Jason's family this year.  We had omelettes in a bag and Yoder's doughnuts for breakfast.  While we waited to get hungry for the main meal, we worked on our craft, decorating wood blocks.  The girls picked their word to spell, choose their paper, cut, glued and decorated their own.  I made one that says, "faith".  Then after a huge Thanksgiving meal, we sat around looking at ads, watching football, and hanging out until it was time to head out shopping.   After putting the girls to bed, we met up with Brenda at Target to get in line at 7:45pm.  We then shopped all night long, until 9am.  Great fun like always....got deals, hardly stood in line, and got what we went for.  Let's just say though, I was ready for my bed when we got home that night!  

Craft time!

This poor girl wasn't feeling to hot on Thanksgiving
