Christmas 2011

 Christmas Eve we celebrate Christmas with my side of the family.  Boy, do they have a lot of gifts!!  

 Before we opened gifts I read What God Wants for Christmas.

 Caden was excited about his Lightning McQueen slippers Nonna and Paw-Paw got him.  Hannah got Hello Kitty Slippers.

 This was the face I got at 6:30am to open presents from Santa! :)

They are sooooo excited!

 Christmas morning.  Santa gifts, the best gift of all was in the back yard.  Santa brought them a trampoline!!!  Caden kept saying that was the best surprise ever!

Coming in to see what Santa brought them at 6:30am!

 Princess!

Caden got a track.

Oh, and the best part, the trampoline!  

Letter C/Christmas

 Mary Shares her Good News Luke 1:39-56.  We made whispering tubes from Hubbards Cubbard.  I had the kids whisper God Loves you and some other things to each other.

 We watched some Christmas songs on You Tube.

 Caden did a story sequence of gingerbread baking from Making Learning Fun.

 They both sorted C and G sounds from Starfall.

 Our color of the month is green and Hannah colored the things that were green in her picture from Sing, Spell, Read and Write PreK.  We also sing the green song.

 Our shape of the month is stars.  I had Hannah sort different shaped stars.

 This was also from Hubbards Cubbard.  I read John the Baptist is Born Luke 1:57-80.  The black dots are sin.  The zig zag line is us choosing the wrong path.

 Inside was a straight road and when we follow that path we have Jesus in our heart.

 Roll a reindeer from Making Learning Fun.

 Letter C play doh mat.

 Angel shape count from Making Learning fun.

 The kids sang Jingle Bells and We Wish You A Merry Christmas in our Preschool Co-op Group.  It was so cute!

 Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem.  Anticipation of the Light of the World.  Luke 2:1-5.  So we made candle sticks from Hubbards Cubbard.

Happy Birthday Jesus

We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus with our Homeschool Playdate Group.  

Christmas Decorating 2011

The kids got to decorate the Christmas Tree all by themselves this year.  I am 33 weeks pregnant and just can't stand that long.  So I sat and watched and it sure was cute to see these little guys working hard!  

 Don't you love how all the decorations are all at the bottom of the tree??? 

 Daddy helping Hannah move some of the ornaments up higher.

We also started a tradition with my Mom, my sister and her 2 kids to decorate Christmas cookies for the kids friends.  We all had a great time decorating and making a huge mess!

Best cousins!!!
