G&A have had a blast this year with Christmas. In their own two year old way, they are starting to "get" the Santa and Baby Jesus concepts. They LOVE christmas lights, decorations, Christmas music, "Jingle Bells", tree, and most especially the sweet treats!!
They had great parties at school last week and though the pics don't show it, had fun at the Annual Norman Pancake Breakfast and Christmas Parade (gotta love the small-town feel of homemade floats, tractors, pets and wagons!) Abigail's favorite part was the "mooosic" (she loved the marching bands) and George's favorite part was the red "trakers" (vintage John Deere).
You gotta love a parade where the librarians push their library carts as floats and dance in sync and the local zoo walks porcupines and ferrets!!
Funny story that will haunt sweet A: She is petrified of anyone dressed up in costume. So of course, Santa is out of the question. Last Sunday the Children's ministry dept had a big birthday party for Jesus and all Abigail could say through her tears was "No Jesus, No Jesus!" I guess she thought "Jesus" was coming in costume!
Playing "Peek-ee-boo" with Baby Jesus!
Matt had his first "real" violin recital last Saturday and played beautifully though he was nervous about playing for a crowd. As our BIL said, "the audience can't hear anyway so I'm sure Matt was good!" (the recital was held at a nursing home, ha! ha!)
Seriously, he was great...the audience even sang along!
a smart mama brought stickers and found lemonade!! little abby didn't even cry at the wheelchairs (her nemesis).
Merry Christmas dear ones!
