The last week or two before Christmas was so busy and fun! Diego and Rapunzel are tame enough now that the girls can pick them up easily. We get about five eggs a week!
Look at how there's barely any snow on the ground in early December...
Lots of Christmas time crafts around here.
We spent quite a bit of time at the Treehouse together which is a wonderful way to pass the morning.
Hazel wrote a wish list for Santa.
I think this last one turned out pretty great. Love those faces.
That evening at Kevin and Vicki's, we made this "Phipps are kind" jar. My plan was for us to have a little bag of home-made snowflakes and each time someone did something kind for someone else, they got to put a snowflake in the jar. We didn't stick with it because we had too many other things going on, but maybe next year?
Love the swings.
You can always tell when a major holiday or a baby is coming because things suddenly get really clean!
We filled our happiness jar halfway! We started this a long time ago and we needed to give an incentive to get it filled a little more. So we took the girls out for ice cream once it got filled halfway. I remember this was a fun celebration except for the face that the ice cream was yucky. I have such a picky palate when it comes to my sweets.
Our good friends, the Garrison's, gave us this awesome picture of the prophet for Christmas. We decided to hang it up in the dining room where we tend to feel the most tension as parents...
Like I said, lots of cleaning and preparation for Christmas day!
More crafts and baking. I love this time of year!
A few days until Christmas!
