It is getting so close to Christmas, the party's have started, presents are wrapped and so much family time.
Living in Oregon our Christmas weather is not quite as cold and snowy as others. The kids were able to run outside with out coats (or shoes on some of them) and feed ducks during our family gathering.
It has been a high light to my Christmas season. There is something special about Aunts, Uncles, Great Aunts, Second cousins, Grandparents, cousins all getting together having fun.
Holidays are also a time for Christmas performances. Our Pastor's wife, Sue, came up with some great, easy costume ideas.
My favorite was mustaches on a stick for the wise men. Along with a sparkly paper crown they were the perfect touch.
Grandma Kelly has a whole box of Christmas books that only come out during the holidays. So my girls were eager to find stories they hadn't read all year.
It was a special treat for my girls to read on Grandma's bed. Normally her room is off limits, but they were mesmerized by the decorations and calmly reading.
During the holiday season it is important to teach kids about keeping a balanced budget. Our budget is so small we simply balanced it on the table.
So another busy week is over, but with Christmas days away I think we will stay busy for a bit longer.
