We tried to pack in some good memories in the month of December. The lighting ceremony of our Christmas tree is always a super family event. I love taking out all of those ornaments. My favorites are all the one my kids have made over the years. During the first couple of years there were just a few, but now we have a good number. Soon I will be able to fill an entire tree with homemade ornaments.
We had a super fun Grandma Baxter Party seeing lights and Santa at Riverwoods and then making ornaments for Grandma's special tree after. Those crazy cousins always know how to have a good time.
Ice cream at Thanksgiving Point was fun. We were supposed to drive through their lights but the line was incredibly long.....maybe next year. We still had a good time looking at the ice sculptures, visiting Santa's reindeer and gorging our selves on a Sunday.
Time for sugar cookies. I stay far away from this exciting event since I am allergic to air borne flour. From a distance I can see that everyone had a good time making a huge mess. :)
We hosted the Stalker family Christmas Party. My first big family event at our new house. It was super fun...even with camp chairs as furniture. There was a bit of Lazer Tag to get the party started then on to our house for presents and food.
Partying with the Baxter Clan meant sledding, food, presents and the time cherished tradition of the nativity. Sarah enjoyed eating her big piece of snow candy more than sledding...and watching a movie in the van. She was pretty sick that day with a cold and an earache...so I was impressed with her positive attitude.
That concludes our pre Christmas activities. It was a crazy December. Loved it. Love our family Folk. They are truly the cream of the crop.
