Christmas Time's A Coming!

We're having fun preparing for Christmas and our get togethers. We already celebrated Christmas w/ my immediate family. The boys got an adorable table & chairs from "tractor" gma and gpa. They love it. We have it in the kitchen, they eat their snacks & color there. They always go to the same seat, kinda funny.... it's like "assigned seats"!

Christmas Day we no get togethers. I'm happy about that! We will take it easy in the morning, i'm planning on making some muffins, then read a couple christmas books that Adam got for Christmas & have a few activity pages for Adam to color & read...In the afternoon we're going to visit my grandparents who live at Garden Spot home. We've never had the twins there, (terrible, i know). My parents will be there, along w/ my gma on the other side. So we'll pop down there for a bit. Nothing planned for the rest of the day. We may drive around and look at Christmas lights in the evening. Next year we talked about starting a tradition or 2. Maybe taking food to a family from church, or a needy family in the community, or someone in a home, etc. Also would like to start keeping baby Jesus out of the manger scenes until Christmas day, then have the boys add baby Jesus on Christmas morning. We have 2 manger scenes, so I guess we'll need another one for all the boys to add their baby Jesus! I'd love to hear about any other traditions your families do.

Adam helped make "train" sand tarts this morning. It went better then i expected! Never know what will happen when you put a kid in charge of colored sugar! He decorated all these by himself.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, celebrating the birth of our King!
