A Few More

Christmas Traditions

Attending 
The Candlelight Christmas
at 
This is the Place Monument Park
(2nd annual)
This year we went with my brother and his family.
Very Fun and very, very cold.

Singing with the street carolers

 "Mountain Man" warming by the woodburning stove

Jacob and Weston

Signing the "nice" list.
Caleb was the only one to sign the "naughty" list.  
:-)

A live Nativity

Petting the livestock

Learning to Doe-see-Doe (sp? - no idea!)

A round of Hot Chocolate to warm us up.


STRINGING POPCORN

Another fun activity and I just love how the strands add to our Christmas tree.

We were able to accomplish many strands with just a few finger pricks
Ouch! Those hurt.

Dani Rae and Weston

Maggie, friend Olivia and Elizabeth 

Abbi and Maggie

Me, Baby and Dani Rae

After Christmas, we throw the strands of popcorn on our trees outside 
and enjoy watching the birds peck away at them. 
(a little after-Christmas treat for the birdies)


AND
singing Christmas hymns for/with the church body.

Tee hee hee! It's do-si-do! Clearly you didn't grow up in the Midwest or you'd know how to spell that after having to do the Virginia Reel in gym class...bow to your partner, bow to your corner, do-si-do, and promenade! Ack! Stop me!

Love all of the pictures!
