Fun in December
We have really enjoyed our time as a family this month. We started the month serving at the church putting up Christmas stuff. I love that the boys are learning to serve at a young age.
We made a Christmas count down calender. The boys get to take off a chocolate every day till Christmas morning.
Christmas BINGO is huge in the Knox house.
We made Peppermint Bark.
Abigail loves to watch.
We love reading The Legend of the Candy Cane.
The boys had a blast making a gingerbread house.
One of our favorite things to do is look at Christmas Lights in our PJ's.

Menu Planning 12/5-12/11
I started Menu Planning for our family a few months ago and it has been a wonderful thing for the Knox house. Every Saturday I sit down and write out what we will be eating for the week. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks) I also write down what I need from the store off of my Menu that I just made. We are saving $100's by not going out to eat all the time and not buying things we don't need at the store.
Every week we have the same thing for Breakfast (this helps with not coming up with something new) Also, every day for snack they have 3 choices yogurt, fruit, or crackers. For lunch we eat a lot of what I made for dinner the night before. The boys LOVE the Menu because they like to know whats going on=)
