Get the Christmas Tree ........ check!

We've been busy checking off the items on our "To Do List"! We are having a great time together getting ready for Christmas!

1. Get our Tree




2. Hang stockings
3. Hang lights

4. Make the Christmas Count Down Chain (Our primary created a chain that helps us all to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. It has been fun to watch the kids do things for others. If you want a copy let me know)
5. Look at lights (Brady LOVES the lights. He gasps and points as we drive around. It's so cute!)

6. Buy the "Christmas essentials" at Trader Joes
Jo Jos pepermint "oreo" cookies

Egg Milk (as Carter calls it)

Cuties

We were able to see the "Christmas Is..." play at Citrus College. Mike and Shauna invited all the kids and they LOVED it. It was a great performance and perfect way to start the season. THANKS Mike and Shauna!!
7. Visit with Santa
We'll try to check off a few more items this week

We were glad you were able to come and see "Christmas is..." with us. It doesn't seem like Christmas until we see it, and it is so much more fun to see it with cute kids. We love the peppermint Joe Joes also. Beware of the chocolate covered ones, they are dangerous!!! We have already gone through a box of each.

Awesome Lisa! I'm so glad that I did that for you. haha But I hope that you didn't buy it just because if you did you would feel guilty. There are many benefits to this. You will save money and resources! :)
