Part 1 of December 2014

What a busy month December was! But full of excitement too!
Clarke did ok with the tree. Only one ornament was pulled off and broken by her...so not too bad. 
I loved our tree. Loved having it glowing all of the time. The kids did a wonderful job decorating from the middle down to the bottom!
Our elf Pixel stayed pretty busy too. Some days he was quite creative. Other days not so much. 
Simms did a fabulous job tapping in ASOD's Christmas Recital. We were so proud of our sweet girl!
Simms and Cope were also in our church's Christmas musical, "Christmas in Reverse." It was cute and they both did a great job with their lines! Love the sweetness of my children acting out the real meaning of Christmas. And so thankful they KNOW why we celebrate. 
Clarke enjoyed her first milkshake after the Christmas play. She really enjoyed it!
She also enjoyed her first candy cane at FRA after visiting with Santa. She's probably had 50 since then. Haha!
Have I mentioned she has the bluest eyes? She does. Goodness I hope this pic doesn't get cut off!
The Parhams had their annual Christmas party. It was a tacky party this year and it was so much fun!
Before church one Sunday. 
Helping daddy feed the cows. 
Cope celebrated turning 5 at school a few weeks early!
Before school one morning looking so festive!
Simms was a dancing doll and Cope sang in FRA's Christmas Program 
Mary Margaret spent the night. We made Christmas cookies and watched Christmas movies!
Reading Christmas stories to her baby sister and little brother. 
Christmas elf!
We finally got Cope to eat (and enjoy) steak! Progress!
We did our annual gingerbread man and house!
This was our Christmas card this year!

And that was December in a quick recap. I'll do our Christmas celebrations in a separate post! It was a wonderful month!
