We decided to start a new tradition of going to Chriskindlmarket at the beginning of December. It's a fun way to kick off the season.
Decorating the Christmas tree and getting ready for the month.
Our trip to NY was a blast! We went to Santaland and stumbled upon the Stranger Things museum. It was really cool and the older kids loved it! Mom was so excited that she found a street vendor that sold mangoes and cucumbers just like in Guatemala! She was so excited that she bought 6! Sadly the flights filled up and only dad and the older kids made it on the flight. Zuri, Taye and mom had to spend the night at the airport and go to CA to get home.
Jasmine had a Christmas Dance performance. The girls got to choreograph dances and submit them, and three of Jasmine's dances were picked, more than anyone else! Her choreography and dancing was so good!
Zuri loves nutcrackers for some reason.
One day we got home and dad had purchased three Husky puppies! We were all shocked. Tayevion named his T'chala and Zuri named hers Mango. Jasmine named the third one Arlo.
Aunt Cat wanted to make a new tradition of making gingerbread houses together. It was fun!
Aunt Lisette, Uncle Casey, Sidney and Gracie were all in the Nutcracker this year. It was good to get to see them in person and they did a great job.
Cee Ryle was in Elf at the Hopebox Theater and it was pretty hilarious. He did fantastic.
Zuri had her first Christmas sing a long at school.
Taye got a Lego advent calendar this year and we helped him put some of the pieces together.
We decided to do some service and provide Christmas for a friend and her family. It is always so rewarding to sacrifice a little and give to others.
