We had a great Christmas... this year everyone was healthy!!! Last year we were all sick, and I ended up in the hospital for 6 nights, it was awful. So this year was a blast. Lots of family time, and hangin out enjoying the beautiful weather. We decided to stay at home for the 2 weeks of holidays since sleeping in hotels and eating in restaurants and the dreaded shopping are a little stressful these days.
We went to a tree farm near Steinbach to get our tree this year, had a sleigh ride, warmed up by the fire and had some snacks.
Decorating the tree with Dad. Mom and I had a lot of fun decorating the rest of the house and listening to christmas music all the time... Lyla missed out on a lot in December. She was working on so many teeth, she was pretty cranky and slept a lot. Some nights she was sleeping by 6:00!
My first preschool christmas concert. I was a little shy, as most of my class were 4 year old boys!!
I sat in my chair, mouthed the words and kinda did the actions. It was cute though!!
