Christmas Happenings

As always, we had a busy Christmas season.  Here are some of the fun things we did.

We spent several evenings by the fire in our pajamas

We wrote letters to Santa at the library

One weekend Mimi and O came to visit with Aunt Becca and her crew.  We had a big time!

We started the weekend with gingerbread houses

Then we had a big dinner

And opened presents

Mama Jo came over to watch Hannah sing at church and we got a group photo. This was the best we could do.

Hannah sang “This Litle Light of Mine” for the whole congregation at church.

 

Next we had our work Christmas party at Main Event.  The kids loved it!

I’m not sure who these characters are

They also loved the games.  I think this was their first time to play at an arcade.

They loved swiping their cards in the machines, even if they didn’t play.

One night a fireman Santa made a trip through the neighborhood (right at bedtime).  Nathan was the only one awake so he went out to visit.

Here are our handsome boys in their Christmas shirts

We had some Christmas parties at school

We made some cookies for our neighbors

We served a meal at Beautiful Feet, a soup kitchen in Fort Worth.

Afterwards, we went downtown to see the big tree

Then we did some shopping at H&M.  I found these mannequins in the corner

We went over to Dallas one day to visit Mama Jo

And GG and Jeaning came to visit one morning

We also had these pesky little elves hanging around the house
