Kick off to Christmas

We've had a busy week leading up to Christmas - all of it in the rain! First, it rained here from last Friday though this past Wednesday night. Rained hard. A lot. Too much to even be outside at all. Combine that with school vacation. Combine that with the week before Christmas....let's just say it was getting a little out of hand! 
Fortunately, several weeks ago we planned a Happy Birthday Jesus party - so we at least had a lot of friends over to all be nutty with together (and the moms had a support group meeting!). 
We had craft time.....

...and food.....
and singing! The kids made jingle bells, then did a chorus or two! 
It finally stopped raining on Thursday - but was still super cloudy & overcast - so nothing dried out at all. Friday - we had possibly the worst case of cabin fever - so it was boots on and out of the house. We did a Christmas Eve Day walk on the trail across the street with our friends Nicholas & Genevieve....





The girls had a great time - they got totally muddy and no one cared! I recently read blog post about not worrying about having everything perfect and neat and clean and enjoying the moment - and decided to try it out. LEt me tell you..it felt pretty good!
