Christmastime 2017

 
This holiday season we did a lot of advent activities and really tried to make this season memorable and special.  Christmas light gazing, hot chocolate consuming, baking, decorating, nativity making, santa sand lots of fun with family and friends were enjoyed! 


 
 


 




 
 
One weekend in December Lucy took home their preschool animal Simba to have adventures with and write about what we did!



 
We got to go to Bethlehem Village this year at our church.








Aubrey's Sunday school teacher made her a custom pillow case with her name embroidered on it!  So cute and so thoughtful!
 
 
And the girls got new Christmas pjs!
 
 
We hope to start our own tradition of Christmas tree cookie and snowman cookie decorating!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gingerbread men and women made an appearance at our house this year.  I finally baked some!

 
 

We had an ugly sweater cookie decorating contest one evening. 
 







Brandon won!






 
We even saw Santa that night!
 
 
We had some down time to just sit and enjoy some crafting and art work.


 

One afternoon we met Gracie (friend from when they were both in preschool!) and we had a late birthday celebration just the two of them.  These two share the same birthday!







 
Here's Aubrey's writing about her Christmas break...
 

Christmas Eve arrived and our little Lucy spiked a fever and was pretty sick all through Christmas until the fever finally broke on Thursday.  But with medicine she was usally a trooper even with her 104 fever when she had taken medicine.  Poor girl.  But she still had a smile and Christmas morning!
