Christmas Activities

Here's a little synopsis of what we have been doing this Holiday Season:

Wilson had a solo this year in his Holiday Musical Program!  He was the best soloist and sang with perfect pitch and articulation (no bias here.)  We all learned something new about Hanakuh when Wilson conquered his role as a confused, pre-conceived Latka.  What is Latka?  We wondered the same thing.  It's a Yiddish potato pancake.  Sounds delicious, right?


A visit with Santa was on our schedule; however Wilson informed me this year that he was not sitting on the FAKE Santa's lap.  He found it pointless.



One of our most time consuming activities this season was helping with the open house of our new church building.  I get emotional just thinking about having a chapel in our lil' ol' town.  What a blessing!  We were happy to be involved.  We even got to ride in the parade on the church's float.  Next time you see Maisy, ask her to show you her *parade wave.*  It's scary how perfect it is.

Mostly we've just been enjoying everything about the Christmas festivities.  Maisy is always reminding us why we celebrate and give presents.  She's been saying in her prayers things like, "Please help us to remember that Christmas is not about getting toys, but about sharing our hearts."  And, "Please help to see that special star and remember that Jesus loves us." Love that girl.

Merry Christmas Everyone!  We love YOU!

Hi Kasia! Such a cute family! My 6 year old Luke has similar feelings on "fake santa" and asked him to please tell the real Santa what he asked for. And what a sweet little girl you have! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Maisy's face (next to the FAKE Santa) is so sweet! Can't blame Wilson for thinking that... Santa's beard is all wrong. Also love your boots, Kasia. Did you go back and buy those??

Wilson is a very handsome, stylish singer. Hooray for the new church building! Kirk is very excited about that for you, too.

Merry Christmas, Friends! And Kasia . . . nice legs!

Congratulations on the church building--that's terrific!

Maisy is the sweetest girl--what darling prayers. So glad Wilson stood his ground--LOL! Sounds like you have had a great Christmas season--I hope it culmunates in an extra-dose of fun today and tomorrow.
