The 12+ Days Before Christmas~

On all the days before Christmas and all through the house, little babies are stirring and teenagers helping~

Some decided Santa and Mrs. C were okay this year... some not so much~ ??               
Leilei, we adore you~
We enjoyed more Christmas books again and some new ones... especially Lighthouse Christmas, which was a true story of Flying Santas.  We've also enjoyed the three new books on the right below and copying the Christmas story from our Bibles~
The really wonderful thing about the History of Christmas book is the recipes inside which EC has loved trying out and treating us to for lunch~
The boys were SO excited to receive a package from the Leggio boys of WW2 artifacts... right up their alley~
More wonderful books AND this new read-aloud, which we all love! I had never heard of it and took a chance. We are still dying to know what happens, which is the best kind of story... just one more chapter!
Look at that adorable scrunched-up nose~?
YAY, finally! A Scottie and Lennox Day!!! Christmas pjs and all... loved every single second~
This beautiful girl graduated from some therapy she was having for anxiety. That smile says it all! She wanted her pierced ears back, a necklace, and braids.  Ready for our Christmas family reunion~
Amazing to have all these family members together from all over the US in one place for brunch~

Merry Christmas from our family to yours~ ?

Rosie and Leilei~
I LOVE December!!!
