Getting Ready for Christmas Morning

Hanging up ornaments and getting everything ready for Christmas morning at our house! We had "Christmas morning" at our house on the 24 so that we could be with our families on the 25th and 26th. It was Wonderful to be at home all day and just enjoy the carefree day.

Putting up the Tree

While Trying to put up the Tree.... The kids played with the Nativity, Dressed up and played in a empty plastic box, and Madilynn wrapped up little Baby Jesus up in a blanket... I never thought that Baby Jesus would make it till next year but He was STILL there when I went to pack it all up! Reminds me of the song " Jesus will still be there, When It looks like you've lost it all Jesus will still be there."

Hopefully I have a better Picture of Madilynn in her
It's All About Jesus Dress!!!

My Mary and Joseph

This By far is my favorite Post. We were acting out the
Christmas Story. They kids did such a great job and
I was so impressed with what Caleb knew.
Madilynn treated "baby Jesus" so tenderly it was just so sweet.

Springfield 's prade

A Snowman that Caleb Built

Aunt Tammy says that it is a "Tradition" (We've been twice) to go to Springfield's Holiday in the City... Which consist of a Parade with a group of soldiers from the Nutcracker, a Gingerbread Man, a Snowman, and Santa whom Caleb was waving too...Well they did have a pretty good fireworks show...but still . Not sure if we will brave the Crowd and the cold temperatures next year!!! Sorry Aunt Tammy..............

Travis having a good time!

Preschool Praise

Caleb's Thankful Tree.

I love to take pictures after church. It drives Travis nuts but the kids are so cute and I want to remember all of Madilynn's cute dresses. We used the remote for our camera and the kids did a great job smiling!

This was Caleb's first year in Preschool Praise. The Theme was "Christmas Around the World" He didn't sing a note on stage but can sing "We Three Kings" almost word for word... He is the little boy in the front with the black hat on.....

Here he is with Lily!
