Hally's Christmas Program

Hally had a Christmas program for preschool. She did such a good job. She memorized two different parts. "Spell out one special word," and "Before we sing, we want to thank you for coming." She has the sweetest little voice. Miss Krissi is such a great preschool teacher! After the program, Santa Claus came! :) Now this particular Santa looked like he had been on Weight Watchers or something and his beard seemed to keep falling down. When the kids sat on his lap, he didn't even ask them what they wanted, if they had been good, or ho ho ho. NOTHING! Kind of funny! He just said, "You can have a candy cane for Christmas," and handed them one. I think he was nervous. It's okay though, my kids still haven't started to question if Santa is real or not. If you notice Addi's face in the picture below, she did NOT want to sit on Santa's lap, because she thought she had been too bad and didn't want to face him. We finally talked her into it. Why is it that kids seem to get naughtier around Christmastime. You think the constant threatening of a lump of coal and being put on Santa's naughty list would make them be good, but no, it doesn't work. I thought for sure Kendall would cry when we put her on his lap, but she just stared at him curiously. Someday we'll make it to the cool Santa at the mall. :)

(This picture was taken in October.)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I LOVE Christmas time AND I LOVE to decorate for Christmas. My husband on the other hand is somewhat of a Scrooge, but I "Deck the Halls" anyways! :) I thought I would share some of my favorite decorations with you to spread the joy of Christmas and if you're reading this, then I think you should do the same on your blog! ;) There are LOTS of pictures and I didn't even post half of the ones I took! :) Every year we like to collect some sort of Santa Clause. I put the year on the bottom so each year when we get them out, we reminisce of Christmases passed. I am thankful to celebrate the birth of my Savior. I hope that my family, along with your family, will try to slow things down this busy holiday season and take the time to really enjoy the true meaning of Christmas!
