December has been a whirlwind of craziness! We started off the month with some amazing news......Dave was accepted into 3 dental schools and chose to attend Creighton University starting in August! I am so incredibly proud of Dave and all his hard work!
Right after Dave finished up his last set of undergrad finals, we packed up and moved to Brighton, Colorado. The girls decided the boxes were doll beds and thought they were pretty fun for a little while. I am so grateful for some amazing friends that helped out with my girls during that crazy week of moving (Cora wasn't exactly the most helpful little helper :)
Somewhere during that time, we went to breakfast with Santa. Our friends, the Chamberlains, bought us tickets and invited us to the high school event. The girls loved watching the choir performances so it was the perfect morning! Milan asked Santa for a real live microphone, Eden asked for a surprise, and Cora just waved at the big guy.
We moved on December 14th and I have to say that we are dang good movers! (Dave and I should be professionals by now since we have moved 12 times together.) We had most everything up and running by the 16th so we could start focusing on Christmas (way more fun than moving!)
We decorated our Christmas tree and the girls picked out their stockings for the year (we have quite the aeclectic collection at this point and the girls love to choose one each year.)
Milan's contribution to the tree this year is an adorable handmade Santa....handmade ornaments are my very favorite!
We also spent a lot of time baking, which is always a hit! First, we made chocolate covered pretzels.....
Our littlest helper!
The finished product.....very chocolaty, which the little bakers loved!
Our next goody was graham cracker houses!
Cora was napping for this project so the older girls and I got to make this cute little village together.
Funny faces!
