The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 12

Today our special thing was to go ice skating and then have dinner out. Everyone loved this though few of the kids could really ice skate. This is not something we ever do so I was hoping nobody would break anything. They didn’t, though there were plenty of falls. But, they were back up in a matter of seconds to try again. It was a nice evening and everyone had so much fun – well, I was freezing but nobody else seemed to notice how cold it was. 
I didn’t take my camera and my cell phone was not doing a very good job with kids moving fast at night, but I still took pictures.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 11

Today our special thing was something we have never done before. One of my older daughters did it and gave me the idea. So, today we went to the store and bought lots of chips, pretzels, candy, granola bars, cupcakes, coffee cake, bottled water, etc. and we went home and made two boxes of snacks for the delivery guys that come here basically daily. I don’t think we have had one day in the past month, except maybe Sundays, that we have not gotten packages. I order a lot of my gifts and one of my daughters has her stuff sent here and Bethany has a lot of meds that come so it all adds up to a lot of packages. We actually had five different delivery guys here today, alone. When my daughter, Meredith, showed me the tub of goodies she put out for Amazon, UPS, USPS and FedEx, I immediately knew I wanted to do that, too. I was shocked at how excited the kids were. I literally thought Piper and Tess were going to bounce off the walls. It was strange as I didn’t think they would think this was that exciting, but I was so wrong. They were grabbing stuff and putting it in the boxes and laughing and yelling – a little over the top to say the least.  I’m not sure why this was so much fun for them, but I’m glad they enjoyed making our two snack boxes so much. We put two boxes on our front porch – one near the front door and one near the side door. I hope the delivery guys enjoy.
