Pre-Christmas Festivities

Ahhh, I'm finally getting to Christmas!  We put our tree up as soon as we could after Thanksgiving.  It is so cute when the kids help me, they put all the ornaments in a giant cluster.  I rearranged them when they weren't looking, but they noticed and I got in trouble for it.  :)

The first weekend in December, memaw and pappaw went with us to see daddy in the Big Band Family Christmas at church.  We enjoyed cookies, cider and hot chocolate while we watched Brandon play guitar.

Elli's favorite part was red velvet CAKE!

The Joyful Noise Choir sang some Christmas songs in front of the church.  Elli didn't sing a word.

So I knew what to expect when she had her first program at preschool.  Poor baby.  :)

She was happy after the program when we visited her classroom!

Noah's program was the following week and it was SOOOO adorable, I just loved it!  He did a wonderful job.  I was so proud of him and so impressed that he stood so still and watched the music teacher so carefully for her cues.  

This is when the "super hero" music started playing and they sang, "FEAR NOT, FEAR NOT!!"

They ended with a little Feliz Navidad boogie.

Noah and one of his sweet friends from school.

Their class had PJ's, popcorn, and Polar Express day on their last day of school.  We had their Christmas party that afternoon.  We had pizza, cake, made star ornaments and played pin the nose on the snowman.

Of course, we did our annual visit to see the Rhema Lights.  

 Our weather has been so crazy.  We actually got hot while we were there looking at lights.
