Christmas

Our days have been full of family fun, baking, last minute shopping and extreme anticipation. We went down to visit Uncle Clay and family Saturday and had a great time with our cousins. My mom's sister was supposed to be joining us, but due to weather was delayed and unable to make it. We were very disappointed, but had a great time being together anyway. We went to church Sunday morning and the kid's musical program that night. We spent a lot of time relaxing and just hanging out.... and eating! Boy, did we eat! My aunt is a fabulous cook and we eat like champs when we go visit them!

We came back Tuesday morning and Uncle Jamie arrived that evening. Christmas Eve, we spent the day baking sugar cookies for Santa. M found a star cookie cutter and went crazy. The whole time, he would say, "Mo tars, mo tars!" over and over... Needless to say, we had a lot of star cookies. You can particular tell which ones are his because they are lumpy stars with a lot of icing! We had a great time!

I am not sure who had more flour on them... the cookies, or M!

Christmas Eve night, we went out to dinner and then rode around and looked at Christmas lights which the boys loved. When we got home, the reindeer had left the boys some Christmas pajamas outside. (We had left them corn when we left.) The boys were so excited and put them on immediately!

The boys went to sleep full of excitement and anticipation for Christmas tomorrow...

Happy Birthday Jesus!
