Holiday Fun

Dont you just love December! There are so many fun activities during the holidays. Its the most wonderful time of year! When we were headed back from Jacksonville, I made a list of all the Christmas movies I wanted to watch. I was trying to do my own little 25 days of Christmas like ABC Family, but I wanted to be able to pick my own movies, so I made my list and have checked off quite a few. I still have 8 more days to watch some more, I may not make it all the way to 25. Some are repeats, bc they are just too good to not watch at least twice!

DAY1 Christmas Vacation
DAY2 The Grinch
DAY3 Elf
DAY4 White Christmas
DAY5 Four Christmases
DAY6 Home Alone
DAY7 12 Men Of Christmas
DAY8 Santa Clause
DAY9 Santa Clause 2
DAY10 Home Alone2
DAY11 Santa Baby

DAY13 A Carol Christmas (STUPID)

DAY16 A Christmas Story

That's what I've got so far. Not too bad huh!?!!? Im still hoping to watch Fred Clause (never seen it), A Christmas Story, and a couple of those Ive seen need to be watched again fo sho...I know what you're thinking, and yes, I have stellar ambitions, dont be jealous =)

In other holiday excitement, we finally had our Jingle Jam family production at church. From what everyone said, it was awesome! Im so glad all our practicing and hard work paid off! Im hoping it touched people this Christmas season.

We also had our small group Christmas party this week. We decided to do ugly sweaters and cheap Yankee sway gifts. It was hilarious what some people wore. Our friend Kyle wore a mullet wig and Kennedy was scared to death of him. Her feelings were the same as with Santa. Justin and I wore some $5 shirts we found at Target that looked sweaters. Kristi, notice that Justin is doing the soft smile, just for you guys =)


We also had some interesting gifts for the game...the food however was delicious and Im MAD at all you small group friends who left me SO MANY leftovers. I have been eating them all week! I guess I'll need my stretchy pants this month sooner than I thought!Sweet Ellie slept thru all the madness

We leave for Pensacola in 72 hours!!!!! I'm so excited! I cannot wait to see my mom and dad and go to NOLA to get Kristi and meet baby Brant! It's going to be SO great! I'm ready for some warmer weather. I'm hoping it snows before we leave though, I know crazy me wanting snow, but the forecast says it might on Saturday. I just want to take K out in her little sled!

What fun things are you doing these holidays? Christmas parties? Traditions? Im curious to see what everyone does!
