Here lies a collection of our December activities that are too few to take up their own.  Enjoy!
A local church puts on a lights display that is insanely busy and huge…This was our second trip.  We didn’t get a chance to go last year but made sure we could get over there this year. Our local town’s Christmas parade is very near our house.  When we were parking and unloading, we noticed another large and familiar van…that of our neighbor’s.  Camping out with another large family, we also met yet another large family.  Naturally, we had to round up as many of our kids as we could to get a quick picture.  Nope, this isn’t all of them.  I think there were about 26 in all (but some kids were marching in the parade). Our church’s Christmas party meant Tobin got lots of snuggles. Mark and I were in charge of coming up with games and the cling wrap game was a must.  Wrap up gifts in cling wrap until you make a big ball.  The person sitting next to you rolls the dice.  When they hit a double, you pass the cling wrap ball to that person etc.
Aside from goofy things like a pack of silly moustaches, we also hid a gift card to a nice restaurant.
