Santa Claus has finally arrived bearing gifts

The end to a great day. We headed over to Auntie Denise's house for Christmas Dinner and a gift exchange. Savannah, Mommy and Hunter all came down ill with a nasty viral infection.

We all went to the movies in two separate groups. Savannah and I went to see the movie Frozen. Frank and the teenagers went to see the Hobbit. Afterwards we came home and made Christmas cookies. Which didn't turn out how I had intended them to turn out. We ended the night by reading the Christmas story and waited for the arrival of Santa Claus.

Every night before Christmas comes we light candles in remembrance of the baby Jesus. We have to say at least one thing that we did that day to help serve others or show an act of kindness. It's a good way to always keep the Lord in our thoughts, hearts and mind.

Savannah was so excited for the arrival of Santa. She had no problems going to sleep that night.

Anticipation

Hunter just turned 6 months old and has no idea what is going on.

Best Christmas EVER!!

Gingerbread House Making

This year mom picked out the gingerbread house decorating kit. We had a great time getting to do it together. Mom assembled the house and Savannah finished it off by decorating it. The house turned out much better than last year. The house didn't break and the candies were yummy. We did run out of frosting but overall it was a success!
