December 08 Highlights

Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!!! Before I share the photos and highlights of our Christmas, I wanted to share these highlights from this past month. The kids got to make their 2nd annual Gingerbread house. We met up at the church one afternoon with a bunch of friends and put together our houses. The kids enjoyed hearing 'Miss Heather' tell the story of Christmas with fun toys! The kids really enjoyed putting the candy on the house as well as eating it!
The kids and I also made some sugar cookies and decorated them at home. It was a fun, messy activity that they had so much fun doing. The kids enjoyed the frosting more than the cookies.
We also got some early Christmas gifts from my side of the family. The family party was in AZ on the 13th, we got the gifts on the 11th and couldn't wait to open them. They were so excited to open something. Silas got a really cool Batman wings and mask set! Brookie got a color set and a baby doll. Sam got Carhart stuff and I got a new Crockpot and mixer!!! Just what we all wanted.
Last but not least, Silas was able to be in our churches children's Christmas musical this year. He was part of the manger scene. He was a dog. I'm pretty sure there were dogs there. He looked so cute in his little costume. They didn't really have to do anything but stand there and he did a pretty good job!
Well those were the highlights that I hadn't posted but wanted to. I am putting together our Christmas slideshow so I will post that soon. I hope you all are looking forward to the start of 2009! We hope you will visit again soon!
