December in Texas


Welcome to the Armitage home in December!  I thought I would give you a peek into all the fun memories we have been making with my family this Christmas.  
 My Mom and Daniel started a 30 day fitness challenge.  
I have often caught them upstairs, working out with the Wii! 

 Looking good!  Jeremiah "works out" too when he feels the need. 
It always makes me laugh to see him stretching and doing sit-ups!

 We have spent time making lots of Christmas stuff.  One day we made Candy Cane hearts to give out to friends.  They look super cute hanging on our tree in the mean time. 

 Are we done yet?????

 We made stained glass ornaments
Step 1 - place small glass beads into metal shapes
Step 2 - bake for 25 minutes
 Wa-la!  The coolest glass ornaments ever!  

 We have enjoyed some great morning coffee breaks!  With yummy Christmas snacks :)

 We have had lots of cookie baking times recently and I sure there will be more in the future!  

 There is ALWAYS time for wrestling with Papa!  
(Can you tell from the blurs that this was an action shot!)

 Fun double-dates with my parents! 

And, an AWESOME time at the Handel's Messiah!

Looks like a LOT of fun! I am hoping we can go to a sing-along Messiah next week! A church here in town is having an open "bring your family" event. I love the Messiah! We sang it in college every year, and I always sang tenor. :)

Miss you guys! Merry Christmas!
