Merry Christmas

Our first Christmas in Pennsylvania has been very nice. We went to mass last night and then the girls opened one gift with Christmas jammies in them. We also took this month and did a lot of activities as a family using our advent calendar.

This month I put activities in about half of the days of the Advent calendar. The other half were candy. We baked cookies and delivered them to friends. We went to Chocolate World and saw the house they make out of Chocolate. The girls visited Santa at Hershey Park. One night we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. We had a few family games nights and nights to watch Christmas movies. Last night we read "Twas The Night Before Christmas". We also read about Jesus' birth in the Bible.There's probably a few more that I'm forgetting but I really enjoyed the activities and I think the girls did too. We just really tried to make some new traditions and memories this year. I hope we succeed.

Girl Scouts

Libby got all her Girl Scout pins and badges thus far tonight. She was so proud of herself.

She had to say the Girl Scout Promise in front of everyone all by herself. She didn't need a bit of help from the scout troop leader.

Daddy got to give her the pin.

Libby and her buddy. These two are going to be trouble. They just sat through the entire ceremony and giggled. Oh boy.

Well, I now have a ton of badges to take care of putting on her vest. I'd better get my sewing box out....
