Charlie, Julie, Hailey and Aubrey: December (2012)

As always December was a busy month. So here are the highlights....

My family sent a box full of popcorn balls for us at the beginning of the month which is a tradition my Grandma Brown did for us when I was growing up so it was fun to have my mom pass it on for at least one Christmas to my kids

The first weekend in December we were invited to a friends house to make gingerbread houses. We had a fun time using up our leftover halloween candy.

I had bought a groupon in September for a corn maze which was good until December and I kept waiting for it to cool down so we could go one weekend and it just never did. So we decided to go anyways before it expired. Luckily they had lots of other things to play on because sweating in the middle of a corn field was our least favorite part. We had a fun time doing something different for the weekend.

I know I have lots of pictures of the girls putting puzzles together but it just never gets old for me seeing them do it.

For some reason Hailey also had a science experiment to do in the middle of December as well. She mixed differnt vitamins with water to see if vitamins would help plants grow better. We actually learned that Vitamin B can help a plant sprout and grow in the beginning and Vitamin D was not good for plants at all.

CHRISTMAS

Christmas morning we all slept in a little but it turns out Charlie, Brynley and I were hanging out in our bedroom waiting for Hailey and Aubrey to wake up and Hailey and Aubrey were in their room waiting for us to wake up. When I finally decided to go see if they were awake I found them coloring together waiting patiently

Santa Gifts

I had the girls make eachother gifts this year so that they could get into the real spirit of Christmas. I had fun making stuff with them and they really loved giving eachother stuff they had worked hard on.

Hailey made Brynley some file folder games
