Day Eighteen


The Journaling reads:

As we get closer to Christmas our days are getting busier and busier, but today was the busiest of them yet.  The morning started out in the kitchen baking my candied pecans.  I began making these seven years ago and giving them as part of our Christmas gifts.  Now during this time of year I do not dare show up without them.  

Getting the kids and myself ready in between batch rotations, we headed out the door at for Brynn's Girl Scout troop to sing Christmas songs at the HEB in Leander at .  Several girls were not able to make it, so the parents had to jump in to sing as well.  We sang Away in a Manager, We Wish you a Merry Christmas, Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Here Comes Santa Claus for 30 minutes straight. 

After the girls were finished, they went to see Santa who was at the store.  Brynn sat on his lap and asked him if he got her letter.  Braden had no interest in talking to Santa or even getting within 10 feet of him.

We got home in time to meet Danny who was just getting home from work and then to go to Uncle Johnny and Aunt Mary's house for a family get together.  The majority of the family was going to be there to enjoy enchiladas and playing games together.    Brynn and Braden love seeing all their cousins and getting to play with everyone.  They had a blast and were exhausted by the time we got home.  There were no bedtime complaints to night.
