Christmas-time is here

'Christmas time is here

                                                                 Happiness and cheer

Fun for all that children call

Their favorite time of the year'

Choosing & decorating our tree.

Making, decorating and eating christmas cookies

with babysitter-extraordinaire Heather.

Wearing beautiful fancy holiday dresses from "aunt" Deb.

Seeing and conducting a christmas train.

Watching "big" kids dance and sing.

Sneaking a peak at Santa (then hiding between my legs when he smiled & waved at us).

Doing a "Jesse tree" devotional each night and

 moving the star on the advent tree each morning.

(Even watching their first full-length movie: Winnie the Pooh Christmas).

There is a lot of fun stuff to do this time of year 

and the weather has been beautiful for it!

Tonight we plan to walk a couple blocks over for a luminaria display and

we still need to hop in the car and drive 5 minutes so 

we can walk a neighborhood that is always super-decorated.

Plus there is still lots of yummy food, time with extended family 

and presents to look forward to!
