Christmas Eve Service

The past couple of years we have been in the Christmas Eve Service at our church.  I was the angel and Eric and Walker were Shepard's.  We love being able to be a part of our service at church.  The Christmas Eve service is one of our favorite things to do during the holidays.  The boys also sang in the service.  Of course they didn't want to but we made them do it and they did but not too much singing came from them. Neither of my boys like being on stage in front of a lot of people.  They looked cute and smiled and that was all that mattered!!

 

Cookie Decorating!

We had so much fun making cookies for Christmas.  Foster was more into playing with the water in the sink than anything.  As long as he was having fun we don't care what he does! Walker and Henry were being perfectionist when it came to their cookies.  I can see a cookie competition in our future....Hey we do have boys don't we?  The cookies turned out great!  We ended the evening with a "polar express" ride in the car to go look at Christmas Lights.   It really got us into the Christmas spirit!

 

Weekend in Spartanburg to celebrate Christmas

The weekend before Christmas we went to my parents house to celebrate Christmas with them.  I can't believe these are the only pictures I took all weekend.  I guess we were having too much fun!  Aunt Martha Jane and Uncle Ben were there to to celebrate with us.  We had such a great time hanging out together.  We played games, ate good food, rode golf cart to look at Christmas lights, visited with family, played outside, and just had a ball.  It was a great weekend!  I always love going home for Christmas! 

 



Playball Awards

This year Foster is doing playball.  Every Tuesday after school he stays for an additional 30 minutes to do a class where he learn all types of fundamentals in every sport.  He absolutely loves it!  Before Christmas break they had an awards celebration.  Parents were invited to watch a class and see them get an award.  He did so good and got him a medal.  He was so proud. 

 

Foster's Christmas Preschool Christms Progam

 

Foster was so excited about his Christmas Musical.  Weeks leading up to it he would pretend he was on stage and sing and dance.  We just new that we were going to have a performer.  Well not so much a performer.  He was so precious and so shy.  He had his hands in his mouth and didn't sing a thing.  I really could have eaten that sweet face!  At the end he was suppose to shake his jingle bells but instead he held his head down and said "he was trying to break them".  Bless!

Christmas Fellowship Fun

Our youth minister and his wife invited our family to a gathering at Ashley's parent's house.  It was the most fun.  There were all sorts of stations set up for kids to make things like cookies, bird cones, and Christmas ornaments.  Santa even came and surprised the kids.  They were so excited and got to sit in his lap and tell them what they wanted.  They also had a hayride that Foster loved!  At the end of the night we all went to the barn to hear the Christmas Story.  It was a wonderful evening with friends and truly got you into the Christmas Spirit!
