The last few months of the year always fly by with three birthdays in our little family and Christmas prep. I've already baked and froze a batch of Soft Ginger Cookies, and Shortbread Cookies to enjoy over the holiday season. We've been trying to bake something every day as we prep gifts for friends and neighbors.
The littles are still not sleeping the greatest and every night feels like a giant game of musical beds. In the morning time, Reese runs upstairs and sniffs around until she figures out which bed I'm sleeping in. Joe has been in our bed every single night for almost three weeks now. Usually I end up in his by morning, and then he joins me around 5:00am and we sleep until Reese greets us.
I am getting excited to have the older two home for Christmas break. If I had the energy and organizational skills I would seriously consider homeschooling them. They love their classes, teachers, and friends right now though which is great! Every morning I have to fight Hyrum to dress warm. If he could have his way he would go to school in a sweater and running shoes every day. I don't want any sick kids though. It's quite the battle some days.
We've enjoyed getting out and walking around the neighborhood. There's a cute little old folks home just down the street and the cute ladies always wave at us as we walk to the park. It happens so often that Ollie automatically starts waving whenever we walk by the house even if there's no body in the window to wave back. It's super cute. Camilla wants to take her violin over and play Christmas songs for them. I love her big heart and desire to spread Christmas cheer.
I am looking forward to setting up our tree this weekend and adding a little more Hygge to our home. This month our family will be participating in the Light the World campaign and serving 25 ways in 25 days.
