This year we went to the live Nativity at Gardner Village.
Although it is freezing cold for those who are ill prepared (I managed to take the time to bundle my kids up and bring blankets for them but forgot to dress in layers myself!!!)... it is a great opportunity to listen to live Christmas music before the Nativity performance and for the kids to see the reenactment of the Savior's birth mixed with music.
We saved our spots on the benches with blankets and went around Gardner Village to look at the elves. All our kids agreed that the elves were "freaky" but they had fun seeing the different kinds of elves. Just as a sidenote which I know one of my friends will appreciate considering her recent post. We were passing a pole and Brett says to our boys "why don't you stick your tongue on it?" Thinking about her post and what happened to her son's tongue I almost shouted "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" What are dads thinking????
Who is that third elf to the right???
To warm ourselves before the Nativity we went into the Bakery and had a doughnut. Yum!
On Saturday I went to Old Navy where they had their sweaters on sale for $9.00 and I couldn't help but take advantage of that plus with buying a couple of other things I also used my $10.00 off a $50.00 purchase. Here is the result...
I appreciate everyone who took my kids while I was in Hawaii. I have awesome friends and family!!! I was not surprised when today I received an adorable ornament with my kids on it and pictures that Dede took of my boys while I was in Hawaii. Here are a few ...
One of the pictures was perfect for my Christmas email to family and out-of-town friends. Thanks Dede!!!
Well, I don't anticipate another post before Christmas unless something REALLY major happens before then. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things stay calm and serene in our household. THAT WOULD BE A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!! But I can hope can't I???
