Our tree all set up and beautiful

I decided that I wanted to give handmade cards with our treats we handed out when caroling this year. Kyla helped make a lot of them.l It was a lot of fun. I really enjoy painting, even though I am still learning about watercolor. 

Lily's school program. Yes I cried listening to them sing. 

Garland library had a meet Santa night with smores and hot chocolate and donuts and a sleigh ride (but not a sleigh cause there be no snow). I love these kinds of things and glad that some of my children will go along with it. 

The next day we did cereal with 

Santa :)
