Gearing up for Christmas!

We have had a couple of low key weekends since Thanksgiving….thank goodness!  The weekend after Thanksgiving we (Sarah Beth) decorated our Christmas tree.  Sarah Beth was so excited.  She put almost every ornament on the tree all by herself.  Sophie put a few on but she wasn’t that interested!  Andrew loves looking at the lights and pulling on a branch to hear a bell ring.  The girls are super excited about Santa this year!  It will be so much fun this Christmas!  We are gearing up with lots of Christmas activities!

Here are a few pictures of Andrew when he went shopping with me, my mom and my sister on Black Friday.

 

Our friendly Elf Max returned from the North Pole to watch the kids.  They just love searching for Max each morning to see what kind of mischief he has gotten in to.  One morning he was taking a “cotton ball” bath in the sink! One morning he painting their noses blue!

It won’t be long before this handsome little boy is walking!

Sarah Beth’s dance studio performed the Nutcracker today.  Sarah Beth had 2 dances.  She was a soldier and a candy cane.  She did an awesome job.  She loves to perform on stage!

We have had a very busy Sunday.  After the Nutcracker we had our church Christmas Party.  They always have fun crafts for the kids and Santa always makes an appearance.  And of course the food is yummy too!

Can you tell who doesn’t care for Santa too much??  Ha!  I love the holidays!
