Christmas was so busy! We had a lot of fun. Enjoyed the kids, but now it is time to get back to life.
I have some goals for the year. I have not done a great job of reaching them so far but I am going to keep trying. I want to get my house in order- rough with this many kids, I want to lose some weight, do some volunteer work and learn to scrapbook.
I have made some pages but they are no where close to what I see around the web. As always I will keep you updated the best I can.

Melanie's Program
Melanie had a program this week too. It was "The Night Before Christmas"
\
Will's Program
Will was in the cutest program this past week. It was called "Forty Winks 'Til Christmas". He did a little dance.It was all very cute. I have to say his teachers went all out. At some of the schools you are lucky if your kids class sings a song, much less have a real play type program. So we were grateful for the thought they put into it. 
Ansley's Concert
On December 7th, Ansley had her first band concert. She was wonderful! We could not have been prouder. They only played a few songs but you could recognize all of them. Trust me that is very good.
She practices everyday and hopefully will stick with it.
Christmas Tree
We have a family tradition where we go to a movie and then cut down a tree. We saw "A Christmas Carol" in 3-D. It was very good. If you haven't seen it you should try. Then we went to a new tree farm ,since our old farm closed down. The new farm was in Clark's Hill, SC. It was nice but they cut the tree for you and our kids like to take turns cutting it down. Otherwise it was a nice setup. Anyway this is the tree we picked.It only took 4 tries to get this picture with all the kids looking at the camera and not touching each other. A new record for my kids. LOL

Funny
This has been making the rounds- I thought it was too funny, so I wanted to share.
"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take my fake man down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.
First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was only one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up into my yard."

Things to do at Christmas
Silly Things To Do At Christmas
1. Stand in front of a supermarket wearing a Santa suit, ringing a bell and wishing everyone a Happy Hanukkah.
2. Wrap yourself in swaddling clothes and lay in the manger of the neighbor's nativity scene.
3. Put on a Santa suit and open a mall kiosk that sells reindeer jerky and Easter Bunny filets.
4. Call Park Rangers in your area and tell them Rudolph is sick.Ask if you can borrow one of their reindeers. If they tell you no, then yell at them telling them they are heartless bastards for ruining Christmas for all the children around the world.
5. Wear a Santa suit to the nearest red light district and stand on the corner saying "Ho! Ho! Ho!" as women walk by.
6. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children that they've been naughty and won't be getting any presents this year.
7. Create snow sculptures in your yard of snowmen in suggestive poses.
8. Buy a package of Keebler's E.L. Fudge Sandwich Cookies and hand them out to children saying this is what happens to the bad elves.
9. Decorate your yard to look like a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer crashed and burned. Walk back and forth along the street muttering, "Oh, the humanity".
10. Get a job playing Santa at a corporate Christmas party and ask everyone if they'd like to see some naked pictures of Santa with the Boss's wife.
11. Sell jars of water, advertising them as Frosty the Snowman urns.
12. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children they'll get what you give 'em and that's that!
13. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children you are sick of the milk and cookies crap and you'd prefer a beer and a hot blonde instead.
14. Sell Grinch-skin rug
15. Stand on a street corner selling dime bags of mistletoe.
16. Post a sign in front yard that says Carolers Welcome. Then when they get almost to the front door turn on the sprinklers.
17. Randomly replace one bulb in your neighbor's lights so they no longer work. Repeat this every day until Christmas.
18. Decorate your yard for the holidays using you neighbor's decorations.
