Christmas Cheer

Here are some things we've been up to celebrating the Christmas Season!

First Annual "Lighting Le Bonheur!" LOVED this!!!

The kids especially loved the hot chocolate!

Our annual attendance of the Nutcracker Ballet! Maybe next year Susanna can come, too. It was during her nap time, so no one would have been able to watch or listen!

The last 15 minutes, Eli fell asleep! But, he saw his favorite part - when the children dance out from under the the "table dress!"

Madeline's violin group got to play for Le Bonheur patients.

Our first year to go to "Snowy Nights" at My Big Backyard at the Botanic Gardens.

It was so fun! Only $5 for members!

There was fake snow! They loved this!

Everything was just so much more fun in the dark!

They had fire pits and marshmallows and hot dogs for roasting!

This was a good trial run for a possible spring camping trip ...

Susanna LOVED the marshmallows ... not surprised, I think she has our sweet teeth!

There were a bunch of winter related activities. One was a "Snow Globe" - an enclosed area with all this fake snow! The kids loved slipping and sliding .. .

Eli really loved it!

This was too cute; kinda hard for us to coordinate looking at the same time!

Very fun - definitely worth doing again next year!

The children singing at church. Our church, Redeemer Presbyterian, is a new church plant. It's pretty young, about 5 years old. This is the first year for children to sing! The kids had so much fun, and the moms in charge did such an awesome job! We were so proud of our two big kids singing - really just so fun to watch them up there!
