December

Here are a few pictures from before Christmas. 

Charlie keeps making little beds for Georgia with pillows and blankets on the floor and wanting her to lay down on them. He's having a hard time with the fact that she's not a tiny baby anymore. So am I, actually. :)

We brought some snow inside one day and let Georgia play with it on her high chair tray, however, she was unimpressed.

Everyone else was impressed so we brought in a lot of snow and put it on the table and then cleaned up a lot of water afterward. 

I tried to get my kids to give some toys to the DI, and they picked a few, but I was still feeling like Santa might not come if he saw the toy craziness at our house. So in an attempt to minimize the mess of really beloved toys we bought some shelves from Ikea and the boys built them for us. 

We went to watch the school Christmas program and Anna's grade sang "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with actions. She was all stressed that she would mess up the actions--that's a lot to remember.
