December activities

December is always a fast-paced month, but usually filled with similar activities each year. Isabelle saw a visit from Santa at her preschool and performed in their annual Christmas program. We baked some Christmas goodies and made sure that Santa had some yummy treats on his plate on Christmas Eve!
Despite the unusually cold weather we have had this winter here in the sunny state, Caleb and Isabelle had fun building a "fort" with odds and ends branches that they found in the field behind our house. They each had their own sleeping spot and talked about what kind of food they were going to have to find to eat. It was like their very own "Man vs. Wild" episode.
