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 is the gift Owen got at the white elephant party:
