December Activities

December, has been one busy month!  There are parties to go to, gifts to be bought and cookies to be made.  And, Elizabeth and I definitely kept busy while Ben has been in school these last few weeks.  We even ventured to the local library.  I haven't been to a library in forever!  Sad, I know.  But now Elizabeth loves going and picking out books and we take home a huge stack each time, it's great.  


One of the many things that has kept us busy is the advent calendar I put together.  Each day we do a different activity.  I'm sure a lot of you have seen this, they are just every day things we do together as a family (mainly things you would do in December)..ie:  attend the Ward Christmas Party, eat a candy cane, go and see the lights, watch a Christmas movie, drink hot cocoa, make a Christmas craft, etc.  On one of the days, we opened a Christmas gift.  




A Christmas book!!!
Yaaaay!  And we love our books...mmmhmmm!


The rest of this month, like I said, we've kept busy.  
Elizabeth has really taken to pretend and "make believe", and it's awesome to see just how creative she is.  

Playing with her dolls and toys.  She loves setting up all her play food.



She has become quite the artist.  I adore it.
