Christmas Activities

We've had quite the weekend. Full of unexpected but very welcome family and some fun Christmas activities. Bonnie and family joined us from New Hampshire for several days because their power was out thanks to the ice storm. Here are some of the great activities we have done this week.

Decorating Gingerbread houses

We decorating these great houses at my neighbor Cerradwyn's house. I think they all look great and the kids think they all taste great.

Geoffrey and Reagan's House

Cousin Karin and Jeremy's House


Rachael and Lilly's House

Now, three days later, all of the houses look more like this. Yummy!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Reagan is quite intrigued with an old picture of Geoffrey pasted on a gingerbread body.

Lilly and an handmade ornament with a picture of Jesus.

Mike is doing push ups on the ceiling after putting the star on. Wow! He is so strong!

Here's the finished tree.

Visiting with Santa

Lilly thought Santa was great. Reagan was not thrilled to see him.

The Christmas Program

.

Reagan was a Wise woMan for the Nursery Christmas Pageant

The girls and I sang Are My Ears on Straight? at the Christmas Party. Mike helped us out at the beginning by being the Doll Doctor. It was cute. Lilly, the ballerina doll kept magically moving every time Mike turned around, I was so floppy I couldn't sit up and Rachael seemed at first to be the perfect doll---until she kicked Mike in the butt.

Now I know why I am so tired. That was a lot of activities for one weekend. But we enjoyed them all and are looking forward to at least a few more Christmas Activities.
