Days 10 through 16

Day 10:  Do random acts of Christmas Kindness

We delivered hot cocoa and cookies to the local fire station, dropped a poinsettia off on a random stranger's doorstep, taped money to a couple of vending machines and gave money to the Salvation Army bell-ringer.  So fun and fulfilling!

Day11:  Make Your Own Nativity

 

Day 12:  Wrap Presents

 

Day 13:  Go to Merrody's other Christmas concert

 

 

Day 14:  Have a Christmas Movie watching party  (we watched It's a Wonderful Life and I bawled).

 

Day 15:  Go to the Nutcracker. 

 

We took Norah and Merrody on a special date to the Nutcracker.  I had taken Joel and Jack to A Christmas Carol in November on another date.  Everyone loved it.  Norah did fall asleep half-way through the performance, though!

Day 16:  Go visit a Widow

 

Remember Brother Oakes?  Sadly, he passed away a couple of months ago.  His dear wife, Sister Oakes is our adopted Grandmother, though.  The kids love her so much!

 

Good times around here!  If we could just get a little snow, we might start feeling the Christmas Spirit!
