Ouch!

Merry December Everyone!
I know we are all feeling the holiday push, gifts to buy, projects to finish, concerts and school events to attend, so I wanted to lighten things up with a quick update.
Things are busy at the Spotts house. We decorated for christmas this last weekend, and now I am officially in the Holiday mood. Despite the casualties of the weekend. (#1 being the fact that I broke my nose trying to get the christmas tree down instead of waiting patiently for my husband, who was on the roof putting up christmas lights.) No one has ever accused me of being terribly graceful!
I have gotten into recycling wool sweaters for some of my projects this year. The above picture is of Evie styling a pair of slipper socks/boot liners.
And we found this great site that the kids have loved playing with.
Ever wanted to walk on the moon?

Be on a billboard?


Grace the pages of vogue?

Just go to Photofunia.com.

One of the kids favorite things this time of year is a felt advent calendar, with toys and elves, and santa, where you put the toys in santas bag for christmas eve. Every year they fight over who is going to put the last toy in, which is one of Santa. It is funny to see the mathmatical manipulation that occurs as they figure out who has to start the calendar to achieve the desired end result.
What are some of your favorite family things this time of year?
Have a great day!

those pictures are way fun. i'll have to try that website. Sorry we make so much commotion in Sunday School. I've been meaning to write and let you know how much I have gotten out of Ron's lessons. The lesson he gave about prayer (well i'm not sure that was the real lesson but that is what I got out of it) really, really has helped me get through our difficulties lately. The Spirit bore witness to me during his lesson of what I needed to do to improve my prayers with Heavenly Father and because of that I've been able to cope and manage life's difficulties so much better. Anyway, thanks and sorry we make so much noise.
