Christmas was great this year. It was our year to be home, so mom and dad came out here again. (3rd year in a row.) They actually came a day early since bad weather was forecasted along their travel route.
We enjoyed our week, and tried to find plenty to do; it can get tricky in the winter in our town. We baked, mom helped the girls make a gingerbread train (since I don't have the patience), played games and did a little shopping. Mom and dad also took the girls out for lunch and then bowling. They loved it, and I enjoyed finishing up some Christmas things.
We went to the Christmas Eve service and enjoyed a tender time of worship and refocus on why we celebrate Christmas. After that we came home and made our traditional pizza snowballs. After dinner, we had fun taking pictures, acting out the Christmas story while Brandon read it, and then opening some gifts.
They are reindeer
This girl is two already!
The girls use this cloth nativity to act out the parts as Brandon reads the story. They get downright goofy, and we laugh a lot. However, I believe this will be something they always remember.
Analise's face shows how she was really laughing.
I took the girls to Target again for them to buy their sisters gifts; they love to do it, and I love seeing how well they know their sisters in choosing what they love. Here is Sadie getting fuzzy socks from Analise. She was super excited!
Maisie got a mini massager.
Pops welcomed a massage much more than Caramel did!
