Christmas Fun

Our Christmas spirit is in full swing around here! We made our gingerbread house a few weeks ago. 



I love my little Christmas crafters!!

On Thursday December 5th I hosted an ornament exchange party.  It was nice to have friends from all walks of my life here.  There were 15 ladies total.  It was a great group and we all enjoyed the treats everyone brought and the fun ornament exchange game. 



Saturday December 7th was Merceds annual Christmas parade.  We were going to be in the parade this year since our church was doing a float and were very excited about it but since I was asked to decorate and host a table at our ward Christmas party that night the timing did not work out so we just went to watch.  It was VERY cold!!! The weather forecast actually called for snow that day in Merced.  Sad we didn't get snow but mom and dad up in the mountains did, 10 inches!!



After the parade we rushed home to get ready, feed kids, get baby sitter and go to the church for our adult Christmas party.  My table turned out cute and the friends we had at the table were so much fun!  The had a Christmas music program that we really enjoyed.  After the dinner Spencer and I even had time to do a little Christmas shopping it was great date night!
Also that weekend my family came down.  My mom, Murun and I went on the annual SPCA Christmas house tour.  It was a lot of fun and nice getting to spend a ladies day out.  Unfortunately I didn't get pictures but it was a great time.
Last Thursday was Santa hat day at school.  Aubrey was very excited and this was the outfit we picked out.  Just like pj day at school when we first pulled up to the school and saw the "cool" 4th and 5th graders not wearing their Santa hats Aubrey started to get nervous and took her hat off.  I got the "mom you were wrong it's not Santa hat day I don't want to be the only one in a Santa hat."  Sure enough we walked into the cafeteria were all the kindergarten students met and 99.7% were in their Santa hats.  I love the kindergarten spirit and how excited they all get.  I think they are the cool kids!!

Here are a few of my wreath projects this year:
