December Fun!

Here's a little update for December. We had a fun month getting ready for Christmas, now that the kiddos are getting older and understand more it keeps getting more exciting! We made cookies, decorated the tree as a family (and it looked like it, but I wouldn't change it...Alyssa had sooo much fun putting the ornaments on, even if they were in one section :) And most importantly we focused on Jesus' Birthday. We went to the Living Nativity with friends and Alyssa loved being in the Church service for the Christmas Musical. That night while we were praying she said, "Thank you God for letting me hear the music this morning at church." It was worth every bit of the battle to keep a 4 year old quiet and in one place for over an hour. Aiden is growing up so much lately he looks like a little boy and has really started talking. A lot. I love it! So here are some things to look at:

Getting older and enjoying some coffee...

YUM! (It was empty, I promise)

Sometimes we just have to brush our teeth anywhere.

Aiden, Alyssa & Kyla ready to walk through the Living Nativity at Church.

Ready to roll out some dough...

Eh, this is easier.

Eating mini hot dogs at Grandma & Grandpa Raines house on Christmas Eve. He loved to stab them with his little sword.

Well, I guess that turned into a bit of an Aiden post.
