Christmas Traditions

As I am sure many other families do we have our own family Christmas traditions, which I think I love as much as my children. We start ours on Christmas eve after dinner kids get showers and ready for bed, then we all campout in the living room yes even mom and dad. Christmas morning Jeremy makes breakfast after breakfast kids get cleaned up while mommy cleans kitchen. After things are washed we sit around and listen to daddy read the Christmas Story, we talk about it, pray, and then the gifts are opened. Once all the gifts are opened kids get dressed for the day and can play with their toys with daddy, if they got any, while mommy starts baking and preparing for Christmas dinner. Another one we do as part of dessert time after dinner is we make a red velvet cake, put candles in it and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus, my kids love everything about Christmas and so do I. Merry Christmas I pray yours is as wonderful as ours.

Busy Holiday Days

Yesterday was a very busy day for me and others I am sure, I had multiple things going on. Signs of LIFE Praise had a bake sale it went awesome thanks to a wonderful supportive church love them. It was my turn to hostess yesterday. Then after bake sale was over we had to rush home change clothes, grab coats, stop by somewhere quick and grab kids food so they were a little more enjoyable ;) and go to Journey to Bethlehem. Journey to Bethlehem is really neat it's like an interactive play, nativity scene, it's really neat and I will def go back next year, my kids had us all laughing the entire time, Jacob was with Sis Sanders the whole time and she was getting him into it, his facial expressions had us cracking up, Kaleigh wanted to hide her face except to look at the animals, Judah was the funniest as usual he said things like I wanna go back in dat oter church, I not wike dat, I no wan to go out der,
and at the end the funniest are we gonna die now, lol, it was so funny we laughed about for a little bit. It was a great day, evening and fun.
