Our 12 days of Christmas

12 "socks in a box" donated to local hospitals



11 days of school break


10 carols sung - We went to a nursing home to sing and play Christmas carols on Christmas Eve. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon before Christmas Day!



9 packages received - thanks to Mom and Dad Beech for secretly sending Kevin's old RISK game for a surprise gift!


8 Christmas parties attended: 3 school, audrey to a friend's, 1 at our house, 2 for church, and a piano performance at Dillard's


7 days spent with family: the girls spent a few days at Kevin's cousin's home, dinner out with jenn's sister, and 3 days with grandma and grandpa moorman for christmas. sorry, looks like we didn't get pics of these, so in honor of jenn's family name the photo below was taken at six flags during the break.


6 games playd: mario kart, cooking mama, settlers, seafarers, disney princesses for the wii, and apples to apples


5 staycation activities: science museum, six flags, day at the movies, scout campout, house hunting


4 new wheels: kevin reluctantly sold his srt-4 and excitedly bought a bmw 330i
hopefully, we'll get it today, so no pics yet!


3 letters to santa - whitney opted out this year (they grow up too fast, don't they)


2 science fair projects almost completed: one about soil pollution and the other about popcorn!


1 perfect christmas day

2 penny for your thoughts:

Sounds like a good time! And the weather looks so enticing. We're buried in a foot of snow and our high temperatures during the day are in the low 20s. Brrrr!
