Christmas Fun

The kids are very much into Christmas this year. They are so excited about all the decorations and presents, giving not just getting. They play beneath the tree each night, building a "barn" out of the wrapped packages. They also started leaving snacks under the tree. We don't keep a lot of junk in the house so they were leaving bowls of pretzels and craisins and cups of water. We explained they only had to do that on Christmas Eve and we would get some cookies then. Their favorite carols are Santa Claus is Coming to Town and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
Thank you Aunt Anita for the new CD!

This was taken by Drew. He did such a good job. Me, not looking great with no make-up and having been to the gym.

They both helped trim the tree this year. Mirra would hang 4 and 5 ornaments from a branch. I realize I need to get more ornaments with her picture in them. We have a lot of Drew up there but none of her.


Mirra tried to convcince me that she could sleep under the tree. I told her it would be hard and cold. She said "I can be cold." Mom won that round anyway.


I love, love, love the pics of them under the tree.
