Finally we begin to decorate the house for Christmas, turn on the Christmas carols and ease our waiting.

School Holiday Program
Thursday, December 18th, 2014
Time again for the school “Holiday” Program! Tonight was biter cold and blustery. We bundled up and left a bit early to drive the two blocks and park as close as we could to the school. Since we were so early I decided to have some fun with the three babies in the car (Lily, Gerhardt and Esther) and drive around our town to see the Christmas lights. I cranked up the Christmas tunes on the radio and we Ooo’d and Aww’d.
Giving Thanks For Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 27th, 2014
It’s 8:30, the babies are in bed or downstairs, the kitchen is clean, I’m jammied up and I just ate a big piece of apple pie avec ice cream. Today went beautifully! There were times I thought it was all about to implode, an Ephy meltdown, a charred pie (thankfully still good) and seeing the kitchen after supper. These are the moments I wonder to myself why I keep doing this every year?!
But each year it seems to get a little easier. We get through the hairy times with most of our hair still there. The big girls get more eager to help and that help is actually help most of the time now. I want this day to be habit for me so our traditions are laid down. When the babies get excited about something it gets me excited to make it happen for them. So I’ll keep doing this. I made a few small changes this year that I think really added to the ease of the day.
