December is always a busy month! This one was even more busy with me starting a job and working about 33 hours before Christmas. We also had family coming in for Christmas, so I had extra stuff to do to prepare for them. We celebrated Owen and Savannah's birthdays. Owen wanted more Legos, and I also got him a few clothes and such, which he didn't ask for.
Savannah DID want clothes and shoes. I didn't think I could pick out shoes for her, but I got her a whole box of clothes (many from the thrift store). She also got a necklace, money, and some other lotion and stuff. We had a friend party for her later in January because December was too busy.
We had choir concerts at school and church and singing at a local retirement home. Alex and I did our monthly temple visit. We had youth activities (gingerbread houses and white elephant party) and ward Christmas party. We still had quite a few basketball games (although we missed some due to sickness). We sent out Christmas cards and letters and delivered treats and gifts to local friends. I made several chocolate loaves and snickerdoodles (not sure how many this year - we delivered on 4 different days). We also delivered some blankets this year.
Here was our Christmas card this year. Our letter highlighted our 25 years of marriage.
Here is the gift Owen got at the white elephant party:
