The Season Begins ║ Mills Family Christmas Vlog │ 2018

In this video - the beginning of the Christmas season - we do a little "shopping" at Grandma Fern's house and bring home a few Christmas items. Tom also do some serious Christmas shopping, but most of that will be coming up in a separate shopping vlog. One of the things we pick up is a Christmas wreath for Grandma Fern to hang on her door. (She's been delighted that so many of you have found her address in our video descriptions and have been sending her Christmas cards.) Tom watched a few cartoon Christmas Specials with the kids and I spent time with the kids making plans for everything we'd like to do this Christmas season. We haven't put up our trees yet, but we did go to Grandma Kitty's house and help her put up her tree. The kids also made ornaments at the library and helped decorate the library tree a little. I've been busy, busy (overwhelmed busy, even) sewing and crafting and cleaning and planning and video editing and all the rest. I decided to make the three little girls backpacks for Christmas. Part of the way through, I wondered what I was thinking! But when they were all done, I was SO delighted with how they came out. I'm so happy with them. I also made a Nintendo Switch dock cover for Justus, a green screen for Judah, princess skirts and capes for Sophia & Claudia, a vest for Solomon, bow ties for Solomon & Justus, a sketch book for Solomon and blank recipe books for Eden and Thomas. (I also made Asher a driving lesson book for his birthday.) The kids drew names for their $1 dollar gift exchange. Thomas also had a work gift exchange at the Diehl's Supermarket Christmas party. Tom and Thomas made Magic Cookie Bars to take to the party. (I enjoyed watching two INTJs cook together.) Even though we haven't put up much in way of decorations yet, we did get the Christmas blankets down for the kids and they enjoyed snuggling in with them while I read a book about St. Nicholas to them on St. Nicholas Day.
