The month of December seemed to fly by for Aaron and myself... but for the kids, they were anxiously awaiting the number 25 on our Advent calendar! In addition to celebrating St. Nick, seeing Santa, and baking cookies, we also found many other holiday activities to enjoy this season. We did a drive-through Christmas lights show in a park (with the kids snug in their PJ's!). We attended a live nativity and got to "meet" the camel and donkey! Ansel liked the live animals and the really big angel. Amita liked that it was at her school and she saw teachers that she knew. We made time for some holiday movies together. We even tried some hot cocoa!! The kids liked the marshmallows, but not the hot drink. Here's a few more photos of our holiday fun.
The kids made Rudolph hats and had a blast wearing them.
They also were excited to dress up for church.
Now all we need to do is work a little on their poses...
That's better!
Ansel was tired of having his picture taken... but Amita obviously wasn't!
Here's the crew on Christmas Eve. We had an awesome time at the candlelight church service. No one got burned and the church is still standing. Success!!
To stay on Santa's good list, Amita decided she wanted to carry the diaper bag for us.
We let each kid open one gift on Christmas Eve (Mama got to choose which one).
It was pajamas for both of them!! Amita was really excited!
Ansel said, "clothes" and went back to playing.
