Pre-Christmas Fun

MOPS Christmas party I hosted at the beginning of December

 Ocala Christmas Parade, always a fun time for the kids. We went with our neighbors, Mike and Angela and their 2 children Meryl & Graham 

Olivia giving Graham a hug. She loves Meryl & Graham and they both equally love her. Graham is so cute; any time he sees me or Olivia he yells out "weewa!" (his way of saying Olivia.)

I tried something new this year with an advent activity calendar. Each day counting down to Christmas the kids opened a box with a slip of paper containing a fun activity or craft. We all had a lot of fun with it, I loved seeing their excitement waiting to see what we would do during the day & they loved all the activities.  
This activity was making edible Christmas trees out of sugar cones. 
Painted vases (gifts for their teachers.) Didn't turn out as well as I liked, lol!

Cameron's school went Christmas caroling at local nursing homes. Such a sweet experience!

Olivia's school Christmas program. She did a great job & when they sang her favorite song, away in a manger, she was the loudest in the room!



My sweet little girl!
