The Hurt family has been very busy with lots of holiday happenings. Christmas parties, kids Christmas parties, Christmas school sing-songy things, cookie making, tree decorating. Oh and I've been sewing and sewing and sewing. Lots of last minute purse requests from those sweet husbands out there! I'm mish-mashing our holiday festivities pictures into one picture heavy post. Here ya go....
Ducks kids Christmas party. Santa flies down from the Pole in an F16 to meet the kiddos and had out both large amounts of excitement and overwhelming bouts of character-suit fear.
Brian was soooo excited to see Santa again.
This was the best picture I got of our kids "sitting on Santa's lap." Several things are happening here. I forgot to turn the flash on. Brian forgot to calm down and stand still. Emily forgot that Santa is the one that brings the toys and she broke out every self-defense move she has to get as far as she could from the big red guy. Last year Brian wouldn't be seen in the same room as Santa so at least we have improvement on that front.
Emily did allow Santa to give her a small presento but she was very wary and had that look in her eyes that means "you get any closer and I will punch you in the mouth!"
For Brian's school fundraiser, our family purchased 12 tubs of cookie dough (that's 36 dozen cookies!) and we made them for our base airmen cookie drive. It took me 2 days to make them all and I even gave 3 tubs to a friend who offered to help! Brian helped-ish. He was better help eating them than making them but he tried. Thanks to everyone who helped us buy cookie dough!
We tossed our fake tree last year. It was old, like first generation fake tree with no lights! It had served us well for 9 Christmases but the lead was beginning to break down and burn my arms as I assembled it, so out to the trash it went and we had to come up with a new plan. So we decided to go live this year and scored an awesome FREE tree from base. It's a 7-ish footer and it very nice and full. We are pleased, especially because it cost nothing and my arms aren't on fire. Brian was a big help this year putting up ornaments and Emy approves of our work.

Steve dressed in his ugly duckling Christmas sweater for our adult Ducks holiday party
I decided to forgo the ugly Christmas sweater dress code and just look normal. As normal as I can look that is ;)
