CHRISTmas Eve was great, we celebrated in the morning with Aunt Candice, and our friends "G" and Big "R". We have celebrated CHRISTmas Eve with their family for 8 years, and now that everyone has kids, it is even more fun. We exchanged books this year and it was wonderful!
Then we ate dinner and off we went to look at CHRISTmas lights. This was great for 15 minutes, until Maggie decided she was ready to go home. Once we got home, we watched A Muppet CHRISTmas Carol and then it was bath time. We prepared Santa's snack (apple slices, fruit cake cookie, banana bread muffin, cheese for Santa Mouse and a glass of milk) and took photos next to the fire place.
(No matter how many times I took this picture, James closed his eyes...so, there you have it.)
(Maggie was more interested in the funny faces Dada was making)
To help teach the real reason for CHRISTmas, we have always given James and Maggie three gifts. These three gifts are representative of the three gifts Jesus received not long after his birth. They were so excited with their gifts, they immediately began playing and did not want to stop for breakfast.
Maggie loves her "Magdoodle", she can make/draw everything and she is so happy...
James and his Dada are working together on a Magna-Doodle masterpiece!
James and his Dada also share the same morning hair-do!!
Our CHRISTmas day was wonderful: we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, ate breakfast, packed up and went to Mimi & Papa's for the afternoon and then to their Great Ruppy & Mo's house for dinner. Such a great day to spend with family.
