Christmas Activities

Every year there are certain traditions that we have for Christmas. I always buy the kids new pajamas and let them open them on Christmas Eve because by then, I've heard, "Can't we just open ONE?!?!" a million and one times! We also leave cookies and milk for Santa Claus. Usually it's a whole plate full, but this year I was able to convince the kids that Santa only needs a couple of cookies since lots of other kids will be leaving him cookies too. We also had to leave carrots for Santa's reindeer because that's what he told them when we saw him at the mall. He said to leave chocolate chip cookies for him and carrots for the reindeer. (Thanks for being so picky Santa! ;-)


















Another tradition that we have is having a picture made with Santa. This year, no one was scared of Santa and everyone sat on his lap! The mall that we went to let me take my own pictures so I was able to get pictures of them talking to him and a group picture.
























We had a musical production at church this year. Nicole was Mary. Natalie and Lauren were angels. Jack was a shepard boy. He did good at practice, but the day of the performance he wouldn't get up there in front of everyone. A wonderful lady at church and her sister made all the costumes! They did a great job. Hopefully, we can make a Christmas performance an annual tradition.









































I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
