Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve

Every Christmas Eve the family acts out the nativity. It is one of my kids favorite things to do at Christmas time. We have to use our imagination when it comes to the costumes - but that is part of the fun. The tradition started many many years ago when I was young. I loved acting it out with my sibling and cousins. It was something that I always looked foward to! I loved being the inkeeper or an angel.

Decorating Dad as a Christmas Tree

Snowman Party at Grandma's!

This year Grandma and Grandpa decided to have a snowman party just for the kids to let PB and I go shopping for Christmas presents. It looks like they had a fabulous time!

They kids dressed up as snowmen - complete with scarfs.

Great Grandma Moon even dressed up for the party!!Dinner was served - A snowman made out of sandwiches, raisins, pretzels and carrots. Snowman cheesy puffs, and snowman cupcakes. There were even snowmen cups!

Grandpa was a good sport!! He let the girls dress him up as a snowman.Snowball fight in the garage using marshmallows! The kids loved it!!!!

Christmas Trains

The past couple of years we started a new tradition of making Christmas Trains. It is amazing how the girls remember it ever year and expect to do it.

I guess that is how traditions are made.

Thanks Aunt Candice for the excellent idea. We talk about you every year while making them.

My favorite part is eating the cookies dipped in frosting.

WOW! We can sure make a mess!

Christmas Lights

My fabulous brother Erik came and helped us put up our Christmas lights again this year. His specialty is the lights on the trees.

The kids love the lights!

It would not feel like Christmas unless we had lights on our house.
