My Moms Club adopted a family for Christmas through an organization that supports children and teens with cancer. Ellie helped me shop for the little 6 year-old girl in the family with cancer who loves purple, princesses and Frozen. She was an expert adviser!
The sick bug settled into our home around Thanksgiving. Poor babies. : (
The Christmas tree farm.
We're taking this one home!
Time to decorate the tree!
Each child in Ellie's class had a turn to take home "baby Jesus," care for him and journal about what they did with him that evening.

After a nice dinner with friends, Ellie and Clara had fun decorating cookies with Lily and Anna!

Time to decorate the little trees for their rooms.
Helping Mommy get the house ready for our caroling party!
We raised $195 dollars caroling in our neighborhood for the Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital!
The kids, of course, were the little stars.
Caught in the flash...the girls had a great time watching the Nutcracker performance put on by their dance studio. This was Clara's first time watching the Nutcracker. We had been reading a Nutcracker book prior to the show, so she really enjoyed following along with the story of the ballet and had lots of questions throughout the performance.
Wildlights at the zoo.
Do you want to build a snowman? The girls love looking for Pete the elf each morning during the Christmas season.
Time for some cookie baking!
Brookie Sandwich!
We love wearing Christmas jammies!

The girls' school had a Cookies with Santa event where they were able to talk to Santa and Mrs. Claus, decorate cookies and make crafts.
