Here's what our December days looked like:
First, we had 4 events in November just because that is how it works out...
As always we did Operation Christmas Child with boxes packed honor our niece and nephew.
I took a watercolor painting class where we made a gift bag with a poinsettia on it.
We again went to the poinsettia open house and tour.
And the first thing on the Friday after Thanksgiving we headed up the road to get our Christmas tree. "First thing" because they are usually sold out by the afternoon!
And now December!
