December Madness

I have been a slacker with the blogging lately and that's because we've been going 100 miles per hour for about 3 weeks straight it seems. December has always been a crazy month for us, but this year has been especially busy. I guess the older our kids get the worse it will be, but it's been so much fun. This is by far my favorite time of year, and to watch my children and watch their excitement is something I will always treasure. So, what have we been up to exactly? Well, here's the run down....

The first week of December, we literally celebrated Mason's birthday for that entire week. It started on Thanksgiving and continued until the next Friday. We finally had his party with all his friends at the "jumpy place"...as he calls it. Then, the very next week, his best friend Caleb, had his birthday party at the very same place. Last Sunday, I took MacKenzie to see the Nutcracker which was a first for me, but the second time for her!! Jarrod took Mason to see his first movie in the theater. Somewhere inbetween all of that, we've managed to go to a couple of Christmas parties and gotten together with some great friends. The kids also had their Christmas program at school which was classic. This was the first year they were in a Christmas program, and it was priceless! MacKenzie was a shepard (or in her words, a "girl shepard) and Mason and his class sang some great songs.

Here are some pictures to highlight all the fun:
