Saturday December 22

 

So, since it is so late....I will just write down a list and then fill in the blanks tomorrow....

*Port has made quite a stack of gifts for the fam under the tree....

Mostly for dad

*Dad and Port worked outside together for a bit....Port loves to start the fire with Daddy

*Elsie lost her very, very, very lose tooth!!!

*Port took a nap and Dad and I dropped Cassi off at a birthday party and then went and did some last minute shopping while Madi babysat Elsie and sleeping Porter

*Madi did many good deeds today...many.

She found a little elf that Grandma gave her a  few years back....last night while asking me why all the elf on shelves do naughty things, she decided she wanted to do good deeds.

She did Cassi's chores this morning and left a little note saying Merry Christmas Loves Elvis (the elf's name)

She cleaned Cassi's room spotless while we were out shopping...

In turn the good deeds got Cassi doing secret good deeds.

Might be a great new tradition!!!

*Picked up Cassi from the party and headed to Winco

*My favorite Christmas tradition....buy a Christmas dinner and each person takes turns giving directions until we find someone to give the dinner to.

(First guy we found told us he doesn't celebrate Christmas and to find someone else who would enjoy it....and we did :)

*Quick stop at the Youngs to wish them a Merry Christmas :)

*Bought Pizza.....this has been the worth two weeks of dinners for the fam!!!

We have eaten SO BAD!!!!

*Dropped off 12 days Nativity

*Gave our little neighbor gifts to the families on our lane

*Another favorite Christmas tradition...Gingerbread train!!!!!

We didn't even start this until about 7:30....

But all went smooth and I think they turned out awesome this year!!!

*Got to bed way too late!

*And the tooth fairy still needs to make a stop
