Christmas festivities

 The last month has been a wonderful blur of cookies, hot cocoa, and giggling.

 Annabella's first time to the Nutcracker! 

 What a big girl

 We went to the park for a "Christmas fun day".  They had crafts, cookie decorating, santa,...you get the idea!  :)

 Oh and they also had a "candy cane hunt".  As you can see I'm in line with a bunch of 4-9 year olds getting ready for a neck to neck hunt for some candy! haha  Contrary to popular belief, I am just helping my little Malachi get some candy canes!  hehe

 All his treats!  
He had tons and there was a little boy who had gotten there late and I told Malachi that he should give him one.  He looked down at all his candy canes and then smiled and said, "he can have this one!"  (it was broken) haha   I began to give him a 5 minute speech about what Jesus would do and then realized I was loosing his attention to cookies and sugar...haha...so decided to drop it  :)

 Malachi with Santa.  We don't do Santa but I have told the kids all about St Nick and how he gave presents to kids that didn't have any so they think Santa is pretty cool..  although the ONLY reason Malachi is sitting there and smiling with Santa is because I told him he could get a candy cane afterwords.  haha

 Annabella did a little better.  Though when Santa asked if she wanted to sit on his lap she looked at him like he was crazy! hahaha  She then sat a foot or two away (I had to scoot her closer for the picture) and preceded to tell Santa.. ALL she wanted for Christmas was a ballerina jewelry box that has a beautiful ballerina dancing when you opened it up!   (and yes....she got one!)  :)

 Cookie making!!!

 He gets into it....  :)

 In the midst of cookie dough and colored icing everywhere this is where we find Ezekiel...covered in soot!  ahhh!  




 At our Christmas eve service they had a petting zoo..the kids went crazy, of course!
