Happy Birthday Jesus!

We did the Christmas Angel again this year as a daily fun reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.  She gave little clues about fun things we were to do each day to enjoy.  Some were traditions, some were special outings, and some were just fun family activities. :) Allie remembered her from last year and loved seeing what she had us do each day. :) 

We also made our traditional Birthday Cake for Jesus! :) 

This year we made a jell0 poke cake. :) Mmmm! :) 

Ooooh!!!! Our Kids and the Christmas Tree....

Just a few of the favorites of the kids in-front of the tree throughout the month... :) 

Our annual Christmas Eve Family picture :) 

One of Allie's first Christmas ornaments when she was a baby...

One of Braedan's ;) 

I wish I could bottle up the wonder of these two with the tree... Brady will say this heart melting "Ooooohhhh!" When he looks at the tree. It is precious. 

Our tree will be retiring after this year.  Part of it has lost the lights and even adding extra lights it still is disfunctional. :)  SO it will be on the curb for the trash man to take in the next week or so... Not to shabby for twelve years... :) 

Awana Nativity Project

Allie got to paint her camel, donkey and wisemen this year in Awana... :) They turned out amazing! :) I love her little nativity! :) 

Christmas Get Together #2

We went to a family get together the Sunday before Christmas. This was the second family get-together- the first was Thanksmas. :)  

We went to Nana and Papa's church first, and then, to their house for a family party. 

Aunties and their little nieces and nephews :) 

playing with her treasures :)
