'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the house...

Two little elves were as busy as a mice (bad rhyming, I know). I blame the all the sugar.

{we splurged on yummy hot drinks to enjoy while looking at Chrismtas lights}

{even Bellsie seemed to enjoy it}

{one for the tree, one for me}

{card making for military families}

                                                            {a little video of Henry's card}

{a visit with Santa}

{followed by writing to him at the Believe station}

{going...going...}

{Gone.  I love his expression.}

{Right before we "break" for Secret Santa shopping}

{a little Christmas gift exchange}

{neighborhood ice rink, that was actually really hard white plastic.  *Almost* as fun as the real thing}

{because the plastic had been greased, Havah felt better with Jon nearby}

{a birthday party at a shooting range - hello Texas}

{I think the pink poncho really adds to her whole shooting attire, don't you?}

{watching A Christmas Story - one of my top 5 favorite things about the Christmas season}

{yummy messes}

{merry kissmas - har har}

{slowly putting together a bunch of cookie trays for the neighbors}

What is keeping you busy during this week before Christmas?  :-)
