Christmas Card Holder

I wanted to share this because I love it!  Over the years I have looked for a way to display Christmas cards and never found anything that wasn't very expensive or that I liked.  The last few years I had resorted to taping them to the wall.  When I saw my neighbor had a homemade card holder, I was thrilled because I knew I could make it, so I copied hers.  It was inexpensive to make and the girls were able to help put glitter on the clothespins, which they loved. 

A Visit with Santa

This year we decided to visit the Santa at Bass Pro Shop.  We saw in the paper that they give you a free picture and you can also take your own pictures.  They also had games the girls could play and a place to write letters to Santa.  We were pleasantly surprised about how much there was to do and how much the girls liked it.

Christmas Performances

This year Emma Catherine had a Christmas performance at church with the preschool choir.  She was even given a special part in the program.  She had a verse to say in-between two songs.  She had practiced the verse for weeks and definitely knew it.  When it was her turn though to say her verse, she wouldn't say it at all.  Finally they just went ahead with the new song.  We asked her after the performance why she wouldn't say her verse and she told us it was because she is shy.  Oh well, maybe next year. 
Also, the girls each had a Christmas performance at their preschool.  Bailey was so excited to get her turn to be on the stage.




New York City

Each year in December our grandpa takes us to New York.  He is so generous to take us we always have such a good time and make such great memories.
