We miss our Kentuckiana family and friends. We decided we better get busy making some Christmas memories here. We decided to start the 12 days tradition. Everything is more fun when you add "special Christmas" to the description.
On the First day of Christmas the Roberts' family...
Went to Freckles' Special Christmas band concert. (and celebrated cookie's birthday) The cute brunette with the French horn was our favorite of the 200 plus sixth grade band members. Freckles also won an award for the most improved Band Member this semester. Yeah! Teacher said that her practice is really paying off.
On the Second Day of Christmas the Roberts' family... built our first special Christmas gingerbread house.
On the third Day of Christmas the Roberts Family... Watched Rudolph and drank Special Christmas hot cocoa
On the Fourth Day of Christmas the Roberts family... Painted special Christmas ornaments and made chocolate "belly button" pretzels.
On the Fifth Day of Christmas the Roberts family... Went to watch one of our favorite dancers in the Nutcracker, had dinner and special Christmas gelato with our friends.
On the sixth day of Christmas the Roberts family... had Special Christmas pizza with our small group from church and volunteered to wrap presents for the Colorado springs Rescue mission Christmas toy drive.
On the seventh day of Christmas the Roberts family...finished decorating the house for Christmas. Then Freckles had some friends over for a hot cocoa party
.On the eighth day of Christmas the Roberts family...had Christmas brunch with friends.
On the Ninth day of Christmas the Roberts family...delivered cookies to the fire station to wish the firemen a Merry Christmas.We had a tour of the station and thanked them for their service.
