Also in December, the kids were busy with their various club activities. Above, Aubrey and her group found a green scarf, one of the many scavenger hunt items the Senior class had to find for their Christmas fund-raiser.
Breck and Aubrey posing in their very tacky, thrown-together, super-hero costumes. The event was a super-hero birthday party. Aubrey is "super Aubz" and I think Breck said he was an "over-the-hill ghetto batman" or something like that.
And of course Brad's birthday always falls in the middle of December. Some years it is tough to celebrate it properly, and unfortunately this was one of those years.
All the kids had fun making our annual Christmas goody plate that we take to friends and neighbors each year.
It was a little messy and maybe a bit tedious as times, but a good family bonding activity none-the-less.
Please tilt your head slightly to the right to view these two pictures (they transferred this way and there is no way to turn them around - sorry).
This year our goody inspiration came from the American Girl magazine, compliments of Merinda Manwaring.
It is so fun having Brittney home for the holidays because you never quite know what's up her sleeve. One day she thought it would be fun to go shopping at Goodwill and buy festive (code word for tacky) turtle-necks and vests to wear to church for Christmas. We took this picture after church because Brad and I thought the kid's looked legitimately nice, anyway, it's just a matter of time before turtle-necks and vest come back in!
Close-up of Breck's and Brittney's vests. Brittney's primary kids thought the chains on her vest were pretty cool, and I have to say that I found Breck's vest quite epic with the whole Egyptian hieroglyphic motif going on.
