Christmas Part Two

I wrote a post about how we're having a simpler Christmas this year but that doesn't mean it's not beautiful or not fun. 

I really like our stockings hung by the corner cabinet with care. (That's Jesus stocking on the end.)

Love our new Christmas clothes. And we had a super church picnic last week where we were able to bless an older couple with cookies but more than that with smiles from cute little girls.


"I found Baby Jesus"

At our homeschool party, K and KG really liked making cards and goodie bags for the nursing home residents.

We all enjoyed eating the yummy food!

Loved this fruit basket from our sweet neighbors. We took them cookies and sang We Wish you a Merry Christmas, and they brought us this beautiful basket! 

Dollar Tree shopping for Operation Christmas Child and for family are definitely high up on kids' favorite Christmas traditions.

Not Christmasy but lots of fun- C found tadpoles out behind our house. We have three in a fishbowl in the house and the kids have caught lots "catch and release." 



We were so glad Grandma, Pops Leon, and Uncle Brian could come down today. 
 Grandma brought down lunch which was nice. After church we could have this fun outside instead of cooking :)

We all enjoyed the wonderful presents.
