Candy Making
We started out our December by making our Christmas candy. Mints, mints and more mints. I had to make a second batch after I ate half of the first. Heath made toffee for himself and Ben. And then of course we have to have a few chocolate dipped pretzels.

Cookies and Milk with Santa
We were able to attend "Cookies and Milk with Santa" at the school. It was a fun time. The kids got to sit on Santa's lap and then have cookies and milk. Mrs. Claus was there reading books but we didn't have time to stay for books. What a great idea for the school to sponsor.
Ben was the lucky grade that got to do the Christmas musical. This is the one picture that I was able to get. The room was packed. The kids did a great job. Their musical was about the North Pole. Ben played a snowman, wanting take a Hawaiian vacation. He did his lines right on, and was able to say them so that everyone could understand what he was saying. He missed having all of his grandparents there.
Cute! Mason's looking at your blog with me and says "there's Connor! I miss Connor!", he's saying it in a sad voice. Maybe I'll have to make a road trip with Mason to come visit you. :)
