The children are nestled all snug in their beds. The dishes are done, the kitchen floor is scrubbed, and the presents almost all wrapped. We're ready for Christmas! We just finished a lovely dinner with fun friends but, before tell you about the festivities of the night, here are a few more details from our weekend I don't want to forget. We got a few Christmas presents in the mail that were supposed to be opened before Christmas. So whenever we needed a little extra diversion between chores and shopping, we opened a present. With Ben's gift were some freebies from Crocs. Luke and Jack instantly dressed up as twins.
Luke wrapped all his presents for everyone. He's growing up way too fast but I think it's so cute that he can write everyone's names and recite how to spell them.
Becky and Jesse sent such a cute Christmas decoration. Thank you we love it.
We also spent a bunch of time doing fun Christmas related activities sent to us by Jer and Heidi. Thank You!!
Today we paused from getting ready for our dinner party to go watch Rise of the Guardians. Then we came home and finished whipping up dinner. We decked out the back porch with lights and Snowflakes
We feasted on Mexican food, Honey Lime Enchiladas, Tamale pie, Shredded beef tacos, and Black bean salsa. Mmmm! and for Dessert...Key Lime coconut squares and Panera Chocolate Pastries.
We followed tradition and acted out the Nativity.
The Birth of Christ
Angels Sang
Wiseman saw..
Wisemen Came.
Mer played too!
When everyone left we opened one family present. Thank you for Brave, Uncle Ben and Aunt Brea.
Luke wrapped up an ornament he made especially for Santa.
The kids set out treats for Santa plus Luke's gift and a picture Jack made for him.
Then we watched some parts of Christmas Vacation....with Doug's finger on the mute button :)
Merry Christmas Eve!
