Christmas Music

We LOVE Christmas music in our house during the holidays.  It is on basically at all times.....unless we're watching TV.....actually.....sometimes we do both :) 

Our most favorite songs this year are:

1.  Do They Know it's Christmas - Glee Cast (awesome version)
2.  Little Drummer Boy - Bob Seger
3.  Christmas Sarajevo 12/24 Instrumental - Trans Siberian Orchestra

Download from iTunes and ENJOY!

Love....

...How these two Love eachother

Big Canyon Christmas Brunch

We went to our annual Big Canyon Christmas brunch yesterday. The food was soooooo amazing (the mimosas too)!  The girls loved all the gorgeous decorations and Grace made gingerbread cookies, crafts and saw a reindeer.  Cami just loved running around checking-out all the Christmas decor.  She is so independant.  Cami also sat on Santa's lap -G was busy doing something- but we didn't get a picture unfortunately.  The girls have been 'wearing the hec' out of their Christmas dresses this year.  I've already dry cleaned them 3x!  Mental note: buy TWO matching dresses for next year :)

December Traditions etc.

1. Our Elf of the Shelf came 'alive' on December 1st.  Grace loves finding him each morning when she comes down stairs.
2. We started the Advent Calendar for the second year now.  Of course Grace loves eating her chocolate each night.
3. Grace went to a cupcake decorating event with Grandma a couple weeks ago and was in heaven making Xmas cupcakes.
4. Grace is going to the Nutcracker musical with Nan on Saturday.  Last year we went to the ballet and she LOVED it.
5. On Sunday we're going to our annual Big Canyon brunch with Santa.  We ALL love that event!
6. We got our tree & decorations up last weekend.  Cami loves the tree and Christmas lights around the neighborhood.
7. I am 90% DONE with all Christmas shopping and wrapping!!!
8. More fun Christmas events around the corner...

It's such a great month so far (despite the girls' re-occuring colds).  There is NOTHING like Christmas through a child's eyes :)

Grace had her Christmas show at Grace Christian School today.  The program was called "A Bunch of Gifts" and it was adorable.  They sang a bunch of songs.  After the performance they had a class party :)
