Christmas Preparations

December found us...
Decorating for Christmas...



Looking very handsome...(And older!)













Participating in our church's re-enactment of the Nativity...

While M was too young to actually be in it, he did get to try on G's donkey costume.
Though our church has done this every year since we've been here, this was Gabriel's first time actually doing the play. The first year, he was too young. The 2nd year, he had a meltdown on the stage, and last year had had some crazy allergic reaction during the dinner before the show that nearly sent him to the hospital.
A stable donkey. An adoring shepherd.
L graduated from being an animal this year, and he even had his first line: "Let us go to Bethlehem."







(I bribed G to endure the rehearsal the morning of by allowing him to bring his Superhero Look and Find book)
Making and delivering Christmas cookies and candy...

And being excited for the big day!
