Home Videos

 I LOVE Home Videos.

I could sit and watch them for hours.
And so could the girls.

So our Countdown to Christmas activity for Day 11 was watching Home Videos!
 

 

 

We watched every Christmas I had on tape since 2002 :)

 

 

Look at those two little ones!

 

 

 

 Ahhhhh, I love reminiscing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Countdown to Christmas 2015 ~ Days 6-10

Whew! 

This December is busier than any other I can remember!

We've been decorating:
{Our own tree, as well as others :) }  

 

 

 

Crafting:
 

 

 

Miss Tay made a sled ornament, while the other girls chose to work on sewing projects.
 

 

 

 We've been out and about, running so many errands, that we've had to pick up  a couple of treats along the way:

{Starbucks Cake Pops are the girls' favorites}
 

 

We went to watch the Peanuts Movie.

 

 

We had other errands to run that day, so we stayed in town ALL.DAY.LONG.
Good thing we were prepared with books and snacks to keep us busy in the car while we waited for the movie to start.

 

 

Miss Tay loves our theater.

 

 

 

 

 Super comfy recliners and buttery popcorn?
What's not to love??

What's keeping you busy?

Countdown to Christmas 2015 ~ Day 5

 Day 5 was spent reading Christmas stories . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 What are your favorites?? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Countdown to Christmas 2015 ~ Days 3 & 4

We got our tree on Day Three!

December 3rd is our official tree day, apparently, as this is our third year in a row that we've gotten our tree this day.

I LOVE it!
 

We went to Jeremy's parents house to pick out the perfect one.

 

Every year I ask for one just a teensy bit smaller . . . 

 

And every year Sierra and Jeremy pick the tallest tree they can find and give me a thumbs up.

 

Kenners ~ not thrilled.  She'd like a tree shorter than 100 feet too ;)

 

 

We counted the rings ~ 13 years old!  Sissy's age :)
 

 

And then all four of the girly girls, plus Jeremy AND Grandpa hauled it to the truck.

We didn't decorate that night, however.

We waited until the following.
 

And the girls had at it!

 

 

This year it was Kam's turn to place the tree topper.
 

 

But don't worry, we decorate at Nana and Grandpa's, and Grandma and Grandpa's too.
There are plenty of tree toppers to go around.

Do you have your tree up?

What else are you up to??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Got Our Tree!!!

 

 YAY!!!!

How I love putting up a tree.

 

 

Do you have yours up yet?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Countdown to Christmas has BEGUN!

We kicked off our Countdown with a Girls Trip with Grandma!
We had such fun Christmas shopping, going out to dinner, and a little relaxation.

There's also been lots o' crafting taking place at the Fraijo house:
 

 

 

Cousin Kuaile came out to help with that!

 

 

Cards, cards, cards, galore!

 

 

And we're following an awesome Scripture reading plan to go along with our activities each day.

 

 

 

 This morning the girls awoke to a North Pole Breakfast.
 

 

 

 Holly Elf was in on it ;)
 

 

 

 Day 3, come and gone!

This December is flying by even faster than normal!

What have y'all been up to??
