We had our Church Christmas party on Friday and it was a blast. The Primary kids put on a Nativity and sang some songs. Jackson and Brady were shepherds. They were a little bummed that they didn't each have a staff but I can only do so much and staffs ( staves?) were over my limit. Ike has had to go to almost every home Junior High and High School basketball games so I have been playing single parent for the past week or so. In fact today the house has just been messy all day and Jackson came home from school, walked into the living room and said, "Wow! You've been busy!" I still don't quite know what to make of that.
Today Brady and I had our yearly Spritz cookie making date. We make the cookies and he helps me crank them out of the tube and then decorate them with sprinkles. We then eat the majority of them together before anyone else gets home.
Tonight was Jackson's Christmas program and that was really cute. I'm assuming the kids aren't allowed to sing Christmas hymns because every song was about either presents or Santa. I was still a really cute performance though.
Look at those cute shepherds!
Hudson wants food for Christmas!
Jackson wants a Lego Star Wars set...we will see if Santa can afford that.
Brady wants a Hot Wheels track.

Brady is SO EXCITED about his elf. He made it in Library story hour.
Jackson was front and center in the Christmas concert!

Christmas makes my dining room table unusable.
