Christmas

This Christmas season started with my school's annual Christmas party competition for the Golden Nutcracker. Seriously, so much fun. Each team was suppose to come up with a skit for a Christmas song. My team knew that they wouldn't be leaving our meeting until we had come up with something much more. So,we decided to pull pranks on the staff for the week before the party. We switched all the teachers' name tags in the hallways, toliet papered the office, filled the resource room with dodge balls, moved teachers' desks into opposite rooms, had the principal's car moved and the list of fun goes on. We made sure to photograph each act of mischief, reworked the lyrics to I'm gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas and then made it into a movie. It was hilarious, well. . .that is what almost everyone thought. :)





Since my grandma's funeral was two days before Christmas, we decided to spend Christmas in Utah. Which made this the first Christmas I've spent away from home. However, since the best thing about Christmas is being together, we made sure we spent a lot of time doing just that. Here are our other family favorites

Food: Yum!!!. We love baking our special holiday foods. Frosting sugar cookies is a holiday favorite.







Music: This year my little brother entertained us all with the new songs he had composed. He gained two new fans, who fought over who could be his #1 fan. (Which still hasn't been established.) However, both memorized one of his tunes and played it all holiday long.


We also love our musical Christmas programs.


Silliness: We like to laugh and we like to be silly. Enough said.




The true reason for Christmas: We always try to focus on the real reason we celebrate Christmas. This year we performed in a Christmas pageant that was like no other. :)






Adventure: The day after Christmas we planned on going to the prison cafe for breakfast, because that is how we roll. However, it was closed, so we went to the next most adventuresome place Olive Garden, because it was close by. We made up for the adventure by trying new menu items,wild and crazy we know.




Shopping: The day after Christmas we found ourselves out and about on an urgent errand when we came face to face with these spunky watches. How could we not get them?


Yep, Christmas is my favorite!!!!
