The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 14

Today our special thing was to practice for our Christmas program. We all went to church and ran through the program several times and then got food on the way home. I did manage to take a few girls shopping to get their gifts bought. But, they do love to practice their program and sing so it was a good day.

Pictures of Bella and Sophia – this is their 6th Christmas with us. Hard to believe it has been that long.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 13

Today our special thing was really easy and not very imaginative, but it counts as it was fun for the kids and as I said in the beginning we are just doing simple fun, easy things. So, we watched old home videos of Christmas past. The kids always love to watch them and will beg me all year long, but I usually save them for December. So, today we watched several different years.

This first little clip is from 2011 and Bethany is so small here. Zola is playing the harp and she is 12 in this video.

The next two very short clips are from 2013 – the year Bella and Sophia came home from Bulgaria.
