December Already!

Well it's officially December so time to get ready for Christmas!

 We took the kids to visit with Santa at the Appleton Mall and then to Build a Bear. As this has been a tradition for Makenna for many years. Makenna made a Peppermint Pup and Robbie made Rudolph as Makenna has Clarice from a couple years ago. Although Robbie calls him his "Big Buck" instead!

Time for a bath!


 We went on a hunt for our Christmas Tree. In 50 degree weather and a slight rain! Very unusual for December but was nice to have the kids out and not worrying if they were going to freeze. We decorated with all the shatterproof ornaments as "Wreck it Robbie" is in the house and I didn't want to chance my good glass ornaments. We did this for a couple years when Makenna was little too.

Makenna had her program at School and did a wonderful Job.
Makenna's School Program

I attended an assembly at school yesterday for Makenna. She was chosen Citizen of the Month for her class for the month of November! There theme for the month was Problem solving! We are so proud of her!


 I also volunteered at school yesterday and cut fleece for blankets that the kids are going to tie and then send out east to a school that was hit hard during hurricane Sandy.




These are a few photo's I took the other night before Makenna's program to try and get a few good photo's for our Christmas card.
