Here is a conversation I have with Summer, just about every day of December:
Me: "If Christmas was today, we wouldn't have all this time to look forward to Christmas"
The month of December is exactly this...filled with all the good things that make Christmas feel so special and festive. We watch movies (well, I do at least), sing carols, decorate the house, go to concerts, shop, bake etc. We do so much pre Christmas goodness, that I can't fit it all in one post;)
Summer's middle school choir sang at Woodinville Winter Fest
(it was COLD, but so festive)
We went to Festival of the Nativities in Bellevue
(I love seeing all the nativities, but my favorite part might be listening to the musical performances. This year we watched The Bailey family from our stake perform. Bro. Bailey has such an amazing singing voice and he sang about 5 songs--so good!
This was one of my favorite nativities--so simple and unique.
We went to our ward Christmas breakfast
I designed and mailed our Christmas cards
(and forgot to put return address labels on them, and didn't order enough--oops)
We went to downtown Snohomish this year-very festive!
They have a great gluten free bakery!
And lots of cozy, Christmassy shops
We of course did Evergreen Lights
And we did the Tulalip Lights this year too! They were so great--definitely will go again next year.
How can we not feel Christmassy after all that?!
