countdown wrap-up

day 18: attend a holiday party

(sans children, and score an Obama tote and leopard Snuggie...jealous?)

day 19: visit Santa...again

(and unlike last time, we were successful...no tears, no lost children, and one Santa found)

day 20: see Christmas lights
day 21: choose your favorite Christmas book to read
day 22: have friends over & make gingerbread houses

more candy made it into the mouths of these babes than on their houses

best house award goes to team Dye

thanks for coming!

day 24: rest and reflect

true to tradition, we conducted the C* Christmas Eve Program
remembering the true reason for the season

(watch this)

merry merry to you and yours
