The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 5

Yesterday at church a friend gave me some gingerbread cookie ornaments for the kids to decorate. So, it was easy today. Our special thing was to decorate the cookies. We will put them on our tree that is in our kitchen as that seems very appropriate — cookies in the kitchen. 
This was fun and fast. There were enough for each child to do one and for the younger kids to do two cookies. They are drying now and we will hang them tomorrow.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 4

We didn’t really do much today, but I am going to count practicing for our Christmas program as something for Christmas because it is. I think practicing our small program after church definitely counts as a Christmas activity. We stayed after church for only about 20 minutes and practiced. It was our first and only real practice, but it is all we could seem to get done this year. Today there were only our kids there and that is basically the whole program unless the little boy that might be Joseph shows up next week. If he doesn’t then it will only be our kids and I will find someone to be Joseph.
 
So, it will obviously be a rather small program and thank goodness our church still loves for them to do it. We have a wonderful and loving church family. 
 
I didn’t take any pictures today of our practice. After we left church my daughter, Emily, sent me a little video she took of Bella while we were practicing. Bella looked so happy and sweet I thought I would just post it — it is literally only a few seconds long.
