Christmas Crazy (Parte Dos)

The first half of December was crazy busy. And the rest of December (not even including Christmas) followed suit. Why would we want it any other way? I say, when your life is already so busy that you want to pull your hair out and scream into a pillow, why not just go ahead and add a few more crafts, work parties, and other social obligations to the mix to really make life fun?

So, that's what we did.

First up the Friday before Christmas: Savanna's school assembly. 

You better believe there's a P.E. Student of the Month at good old MPE.

 I even got to sit behind J and watch her squirm around 

and mess with her friends the whole time, so it was doubly fun.

That night was our "Cowboy Christmas" ward party, of which 

this is the only photograph: an adorable tumbleweed snowman.

The next day was Lexa's very first dance recital.

Cutest little Snowflake Serenade I ever did see.

(I think our diva may have finally found her niche.)

Later that afternoon we saw a beautiful performance of The Nutcracker downtown

Soon after, I started working on a Top Secret Christmas Project for Craig

(that he found out about a couple days before he was supposed to...oops).

Then we rounded out the pre-Christmas madness 

with a much-needed family movie night at home...

...and a GCU sponsored family Christmas party

(outdoors, no less!)

Whoa, Nellie. I sure hope January is boring-oring-oring.
