Christmas Shopping Done!

Well we had tithing settlement on Sunday. Ryan went to that but he stayed home from church so I was on my own with the kids. And amazingly they did really well. Kamden just didn't get her nap that she usually has during sacrament. I had all the kids on my lap or in my face so she couldn't sit still on my lap and go to sleep. The Relief Society lesson was really good. One of the counselors gave the lesson it was on characteristic of Joseph Smith and how we can have or build those characteristics. We had dinner at mom and dad's and Kendall made BBQ Chicken Pizza. It was so good. Cole doesn't like pizza but he loved this pizza. We played Disney scene it. Can you believe Ryan, Kendall and I won. Not mom ,Jillian and dad. We rock!!!j/k

So Monday I thought I was finally going to be able to clean my house it has been a while I don't want to say how long but a while. I forgot I had set up V.T. appointments. I don't usually go it December just take a treat but I didn't get out in November so I really needed to go out. Anyway that took me all morning and then we went grocery shopping. I had an hour until Kamden's tap ballet so I made the rest of the caramel syrup. Then we went to tap/ballet and after we took the kids to ShopKo so they could buy each other gifts and get their ornaments for the year.

So Tuesday was another day to get to the house cleaning but I had Teigen and Toren until 3:45 and Cole had Piano until 4pm. So again I didn't get the house cleaned.

So Wednesday another day right. I went to Cole's school this morning while Kamden was at preschool, Carter stayed home with dad. Well the day isn't over so maybe today I will get it cleaned because tomorrow I have Teigen and Toren again.

Well all of our Christmas shopping is done. We are doing the 12 days of Christmas for a family in the ward again this year. We decided to incorporate the true mean of Christmas into the 12 days of Christmas. So like the candy cane represent the shepherd's crook and bring the lost sheep back to the fold so we are going to to hot chocolate mug, hot chocolate and candy canes for that day, or the bow tied as we should all be in doing good will, so we will give a gift with a bow. Then each day we will tell them what each thing represents. Anyway I thought it would be easier to come up with what to give each day.
