We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Wright is at the perfect age to start really getting it, and Spencer is at the age that tissue and wrapping paper provide hours of entertainment. We went to Christmas Eve service at PCPC at 5pm and it was wonderful. The whole service was geared towards the kids, even the sermon and it made it so enjoyable. Wright loved singing the Christmas carolss but was said that we did not sing "Glor, or, or" (aka Angels We Have Heard on High). After church, we had Melanie, Patrick, Max, Luke, Mimi, The Lipscombs and our family for a casual dinner at our house. Brendan and I made lasagna that was a huge hit.
Some Christmas highlights this year were:
- Driving around looking at Christmas lights
- Lots of play time with cousins
- Mimi spending the night on Christmas Eve
- Putting out reindeer food and cookies and milk for Santa
- Singing and learning all of the Christmas songs
- Learning about the birth of Jesus with the Little People nativity
- Getting to eat one chocolate "alendar" a day (Advent calendar)
- Putting an ornament on the tree to count days to Christmas (another Advent calendar)
- Making Christmas cookies
- The trains at Northpark
- Meeting Santa at the Harpers
On Christmas Eve, Brendan had to go out in the cold and rain to clean off Wright's jeep car that we gave him - we bought it from Melanie and Patrick so it needed a little TLC.
We had Christmas Eve dinner at our house - this is my table.
Wright was on his best behavior as he put out cookies and milk for Santa and the reindeer.
Here's Wright checking out his batman cave or as he calls it "batman house".
Spencer got the PB chair like Wright from Santa.
