Twas the night before Christmas... We took the cushions from the benches and made a little bed under the Christmas tree to watch a Christmas movie, eat my homemade pizza and read our Christmas story.
The next morning we awoke to see what Santa had brought (only what was in the stockings- he doesn't get a lot of credit :) and also what was so lovingly given to our boys from their grandparents and wonderful supporters. We started the morning with our Christmas story from the kids Bible and then opened gifts, ate cinnamon rolls and homemade apple cider, played with the toys, puzzles, watched a Christmas movie, and skyped with a lot of our family.
The boys were so stoked on their cubby vests! We have been doing Awana Cubbies for Sunday school at our house on Sunday mornings. They are so excited to memorize verses and earn patches. Thanks to their Auntie Joanna Franke and Grandma for getting the vests for them.
It was a blessing to Skype with my brother and see how big my nephew Randy is getting. I think he looks like my dad :)
We spent the morning as a family, then by noon the gates were opened and we started decorating and getting ready for Babu and Jesus' birthday party!
We had around 100 people come, like last year and ordered food for 150. We got to bless some of the families with leftovers too. The ladies and I served the food....
....and some of the girls passed it out. The window service worked great! Cody took off a couple of the bars and we kept traffic out of the kitchen.
My sweet husband blessed me by relieving me in the kitchen to mingle and dance with friends. They worked hard and made packages for the people to take home
We inherited a kitty and she thinks Cookie is her mom. And Cookie nurses her just like she is her mom. Too funny! We got video of it!
