This year I did my best to take advantage of all the city had to offer - within reason, of course, and keeping in mind the ages of our kids - when it came to Christmas celebrations.
We baked and decorated Christmas cookies...
...and decorated the Christmas tree.
We welcomed Chris the Elf (short for Christmas, and chosen
after Super Grover, Mark, and Ho were nixed) into our home...
...and made Christmas cards for Armed Forces service
members, veterans, and their families.
We wrote letters to Santa...
...and then visited with him in person.
We participated in (with the Red Cross) and then watched the Bryan Christmas Parade.
(Will rode on the float, I handed out candy, and Tom and Hallie waved and shouted
"Merry Christmas" to the crowds as they walked and rode in the stroller,
respectively,along side the float.)

We visited "Christmas at the Creek",
and drove through the city's Christmas light display.
And that's not to mention the activities and parties at school.
There were the Christmas Chapels, first Will's...
...and then Hallie's. (That girl is a performer through and through. She knew those
Christmas songs, and the motions that went with them, like it was her job.)
Will's class held a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party, which I coordinated,
Hallie's class decorated Christmas cookies, and the last day of school before
Christmas vacation - which I worked - was Christmas pajama day.
I've just realized why I'm so tired.
