She's Back...

 Jingles returned on Monday November 25th.  She brought a gift for the kids.

 She gave them Santa & Mrs. Claus ornaments

Let the fun begin...

Christmas Tree

 We went to the Flower Market on Saturday to get a bigger Christmas tree.  We saw this cool tree and had to get a picture with it.  As we were leaving Ben had to give the deer a kiss.

 A bigger tree this year means we can put up the ornaments we brought from Michigan!

Here it is!  Not too bad!

Turkeys!

 We had to make a turkey for Hannah's class, it had to be disguised so it would be safe at Thanksgiving.  We made it into a ballerina. 

 We also made turkeys from the kids feet & hands!  They turned out super cute!

Hannah's Winter Concert

Hannah had her Winter Concert on Thursday November 21st.  

Her class sang "It's a Small World" so they dressed in clothes from their home country.

She did so good!

Homemade Ornaments...the first of many to come

 This weekend we started to make some ornaments for our tree.

 Kenzie's beautiful flower ball...these took us half the day to make, but they turned out awesome!

 Our icicles we made.

 We also made a Christmas Counter Downer (if you've ever seen Elmo's Christmas Countdown you would get this).  Our countdown is filled with things we are thankful for.

We also made glitter stars.

We had so much fun making our first ornaments, they all turned out GREAT!

Christmas Carol

 Our Daisy Troop got asked to be in the High School's Christmas Carol Production.  They were a chorus of angels and they did an awesome job!

 Our little Angels!

Their Principle Mr. E was also in the play!

Girl Scout Camp

 Makenzie & I went camping with the Girl Scouts on November 9-10th.

It was so much fun.  We had great weather on Saturday but woke up to rain on Sunday.  

 Our Daisies that went!

We also went on the dragon boats.

We had so much fun at camp!

Trick or Treating

 Our complex had Trick or Treating on November 2nd, so we had Great & Lina's families over to go with us.  The big girls did makeup for the little ones.
