Kennedy had her Christmas program for her daycare that she attends on this past tues. evening. The daycare she goes to is through the Methodist Church. They put on the cutest 25 min. kid friendly program.
Mary and Joseph! His beard about made me die. It was the most hilarious thing ever. I actually think it was a piece of cut carpet!
I know...you are thinking what the heck is this? Well these were the wise men...in their robes...which were really long. And they kept stepping on each other's robes and falling down....the steps....numerous times. I was crying I was laughing so hard. Along w/ about all of the other parents.
She was an Angel.....naturally.......???? ummm......ok so not all the time.......maybe not even most of the time. But she's still our angel! B/c she was perfectly made for us!
Everything about this picture is horrible....the coloring mostly. But you get the idea of how many xmas cards we got this year! I am kind of glad this little dresser didn't have a mirror in it's frame. B/c a little wire and some clothes pins made for a perfect place to display all the cards we received.
My Willow Tree Nativity
Kennedy and I made a gingerbread house this afternoon while Gentry took a nap. She loved making it and eating the candy along the way. Which I am pretty sure was discusting. Don't get too excited......No, I did not make the gingerbread. It was a kit that we bought. Although, making a real gingerbread house from scratch is on my "To Do List" for one of the future Chistmas'.
"Decorating the tree!"
She kept eating the candy that was supposed to go on the house!
See the blowing snow out the kitchen window!
The Finale!
We made it to 6:00 Chistmas Eve Church service tonight. It was beautiful. The girls were absolutely awful during mass. We even walked out and left a little early. I don't know if they were just so excited about Santa or if they were just hungry since their horrible parents didn't feed them before church. We go to church in one of our neighboring towns. The wind and snow made it almost impossible to breathe for the short few seconds we were actually out in it. And when we came home and Dana opened the garage door to head out to his shop this is what was on the other side! A really cool drift w/ the imprint of the door in it!
Last year and this year Kennedy made "reindeer food" at preschool. It consists of a jar of oatmeal w/ glitter. The reindeer love to eat the oatmeal for nourishment and the glitter catches their eye so they know what yard to eat out of! Here is what it looks like....minus the food. We had already spread it in our yard!
Here is Dana putting the reindeer food out in the yard. I am pretty sure w/ our 30mph sustained wind and 48 mph gusts that all he had to do was toss it up in the air and it dispersed! But what a good daddy to do this in blizzard conditions. You could definately say that he will do anything for his girls.
I will miss seeing the beautiful lights on the tree. They are always so magical. Year after year. But I also will be ready to have my living room furniture back to it's normal arrangement. When you have a fireplace there aren't too many options :(
Love the Christmas pictures! Jolene gave Tracy and I both the nativity set also. We found at hobby lobby a stable with moss attached to the floor and roof and it is big enough for the figurines to fit under the roof. Merry Christmas! Jericho :)
