The Children's Bell Choir

This past fall Anna started playing in the Children's Bell Choir at church.  She LOVES it!  It makes my heart fill with joy to see her making a joyful noise unto our Lord and I've even teared up a few times too.  Below is their Christmas performance from last Sunday.  The kids did a great job!  I am co-leading this choir but my friend Amy does most of the work and she has an incredible amount of patience with the kids.  They are blessed to have such a wonderful director.  I think I'm there for moral support and behavior control.  :)

Happy Birthday Jesus Party

Last Sunday we had a Happy Birthday Jesus party at church and the kids had a great time.  We ate lunch and then went to many different stations where the girls made crafts, played games, and even made an edible manger scene.  Thanks to Daddy's engineering skills or maybe just the massive amounts of frosting he used, our manger scene stood on it's own.  It was quite tasty too.  :)

Celebrating the Season

It's not like Christmas time without some sweet treats sitting on the counter so the girls and I had to make our favorite Santa Buttons this past week.  Oh how yummy pretzels, melted Hershey kisses, and M&M's are all together in one bite!  :)

This little guy doesn't get much chocolate but he does love to eat the pretzels. 
He's also getting much more brave as he's started standing up without holding onto anything.  He thinks it's so funny as he giggles and screams excitedly when he does this.  What a goof!
