We will start with Blake's Preschool Christmas party. It was on December 1st and they went all out!! He had so much fun!!
Work Christmas Parties
Best Friends -- they see each other SIX days a week and that's just not enough. ;)
Christmas Caroling
Field trip with Avery's class to a pantomime! Jack and the Beanstalk
We've watched Home Alone a few times already. It's one of the kids favorites. Apparently Home Alone 2 was one of my favorites when I was 12......according to Allie who got a hold of one of my old diaries. We think Blake looks a lot like Macaulay Culkin and it may have gotten to his head! ;) Let's just hope he looks nothing like him when he's older!!!! Scary!
Lots and lots and lots of holiday baking (and emotional eating!!!)
Primary Program -- "Joy to the World." The kids travelled around the world (New Zealand, Colombia, Italy and Chile) learning different Christmas traditions.
They each had a boarding pass and their own passport. When they visited each country they were greeted with the traditional Merry Christmas in that country's language and got their passports stamped. They learned of that country's traditions and did a craft in a couple of the countries. Also had a traditional yummy treat in each!
New Zealand
Christmas Donuts from Colombia
Italy
Pandoro and Fruit Cake
Chile
Empanadas
Since the kids were all dressed up for church I wanted to get a nice picture of them in front of the tree. yeah.........
Just a random one of Avery because she is so cute. Enjoying my early Christmas present (another new lens!)
