Angles and a little bit of Christmas

Last Sunday, Judah was in our church Christmas production called Angels Aware. It was the story of how the Angels felt when they found out that God was going to earth as a baby. It was done mostly through songs and was very cute.

My little Angel!

These are some cookies that I made for a cookie exchange that ended up being canceled do to snow. They weren't my best tasting cookie, but they looked really pretty.

We opened some presents with a friend. All the boys understood this year, so that was fun! We asked for things the boys could do in the car to help keep them busy on our trip.

Emma Grace got some onsies and a bear.

Jacob got a mini magna doodle

Ephraim got Ratatouille game for his leapster.

Judah got a sonic game for his gameboy advanced

Then they got a combined gift.....

A Star Wars Tent!

Let it Snow!!

Last week at preschool, it was the boys' Christmas Party. While they were there it started snowing and it snowed all afternoon. The boys were very excited to finally get some snow to play in. They were bummed that it wasn't packable. So no snowman, snow forts, or snowball fights. But they still had fun.

Ornaments and Soup

The other day we had some friends over for a play date and made some ornaments with cinnamon and clove.

Then we put them on our tiny little tree. I like to get real ones, but since we are going home, I didn't want to come home to a dead, needless tree.

Today I had breakfast with my MOPS group and then had to go grocery shopping and this is what Paul did with the kids while I was gone.

He made alphabet soup. He thought he made them thin enough, but they still turned out quite large. However, the kids loved it and had a lot of fun.
