1. This week we kept busy with our Advent Calendar activities and trying to keep track of our two elves - Tinkerbelle & Cookie! Tinkerbelle & Cookie have found some fun places to hide and Peyton is super excited to find them each morning!
2. On Thursday, the kids had their annual holiday program for school. Garrison's class sang Jingle Bells (but he was more excited to look at the flashing lights!) and Peyton's class sang Let It Snow! She was SUPER into it this year and did a great job singing. At the end, the big man in the red suit made an apperance. Peyton did an awesome job helping her brother hang with the big crowd of kids and made sure he didn't get lost. She also helped him make sure to get his own candy cane and say hi to Santa. What a great big sis! And Garrison got close to Santa! Big wins, all around! We were also excited that Grammy & Grandpa & Grandma Mintun were able to come up to see the kids perform as well - it was great!
3. On Friday, several of my coworkers came over to make sugar scrubs in mass for fun Christmas gifts! I think we made over 40 jars of scrub in the afternoon - fun!!
4. Saturday morning was our church Advent Family Party. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast, met St. Nicholas, made lots of crafts and played games! Both kids had a great time exploring and meeting some new friends at our new church!
5. Since we had a busy Saturday with the party in the morning and a birthday party in the afternoon, we took it easy on Sunday morning! Love this picture of the kids playing ring-around-the-rosey with Daddy to Trans Siberian Orchestra music!
6. Later on Sunday, Peyton & I (and Piocano) took a trip to the theater to see Frozen. It was cold and there was a little snow on the ground but it was a great outing for just the girls and the movie was great!

Lots of fun for the Todds! Grandma Mintun, Grandpa and I sure enjoyed the school program and visiting for a big beforehand. They both did an awesome job during their songs.
Family memories galore!
