December 08`...busy and great:)

I have managed to get most of our December in one post!  It took a bit of time but, I finally have it done:)

Making Soupt
 I made the traditional Zobrist Soupt this Christmas season.  It actually turned out this year!  I am still working on getting the braid done correctly.

Christmas Ballet Performance "The Night Before Christmas"

Christmas dinner with friends:)
Patsy's AMAZING dessert:)

We had a fun and festive Christmas dinner us bloggers:) it was a wonderful evening full of fun and great food.  It was tricky finding a night that worked for everyone, but we made it work and it was well worth the efforts.


Yummy Christmas treats delivered:)

Kristy delivered these wonderful Christmas treats for us after our dinner.  The chocolate did not last long in this house full of girls.  I don't think Dad even got one taste...oops!

The girls all did a great job on their recital this year.  This was Ava's first piano recital, and she did fantastic!  Lexi and Lilli had also practiced well and there songs were beautiful:)

Looks like a busy, but super fun December with family and friends! Thanks for posting all the pictures. It's nice to catch a glimpse of the family get-togethers when we can't be there to enjoy them.

Great post for December. I love the girls' dresses! It takes me back when I did that for my girls. Now Emily thinks everything I like is ugly so I gave up on dresses for her. I loved all of your pictures so cute!
