Surrounding Christmas this year, as every year, there is a myriad of events leading up to the big day. Starting early in December, we have the Hooley-Fest which is the giant friend and family Christmas party that Aaron's parents have thrown for the past few years. It is a great excuse to get all dolled up and have some Christmas cheer!! Then there is the Nutcracker, which all the girls in the family get dressed up to see. It has been a tradition for the past 4-5 years, and we all look forward to it (though this year, I didn't take my camera to get the picture by the giant nutcracker!) Then there is the Santa Breakfast at the country Club, which was layed out in my last post.
This year, Torri started a new tradition of having friends and family over to bake cookies just before Christmas - which was a BLAST! So many people were there and we were all in the kitchen, but everything moved so smoothly and tasted so great. I hope that one continues as well... :-)
Then we had Christmas Eve at Jess' house, with a great dinner & conversation, and kids getting to open their Christmas jammies and sing Chrsitmas carols. They actually went out caroling to the neighbors this year and had a great time!! Unfortuantly, Sierra and Brinley weren't with us that night, but they got to rejoin the family the next morning...
