It's Christmas Time in the City!

Just a post of random Christmas goodness. 
Women's Group at the K-Love Christmas concert. It was a nice night out and Jeremy Camp was great! 

Heath so excited for his Christmas party at school! Cutie!
He made this adorable ornament for us! And it was wrapped so cutely! 
 
He also made these two cute ornaments as well...
 Our tree is looking very adorable and home made this year! 
But we are so glad that he knows that Jesus loves him! 

Nolan had a fun Winter Party at school too. As one of his Room Mom's I planned the party, but wasn't able to attend because it was in the afternoon and I was teaching. So Mark came to party instead. 
They read The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett. 

Then they played Pin the Button on the Gingerbread Baby. 

They decorated Gingerbread Baby's house and put a sparkly, foam Gingerbread Baby inside of it. 

They decorated Gingerbread Baby cookies. 

And played a dice rolling game to decorate a Gingerbread Boy with gum drops. 
Nolan even said he did a little dancing to some Christmas music. That kid- music makes him groove! Ha! He also said that they all had a fun time so I'm happy that my hours of prep paid off even though I wasn't there to witness it or help! 

Winter Break…ahhhh! It feels so good! Mark is off with us too, so we've been having a lot of fun, family time together! Dinner out at Chilis one night was just what we needed! Brooks LOVES the chips and salsa just like his Mommy & Daddy do! Toasting to a week off together! 

 We had beautiful weather this weekend. Perfect park days. 
We've finished up Christmas shopping and now just need to wrap! We've watched many Christmas movies…including a new family fav- Home Alone! It was a little scary for Heath and Brooks didn't really understand it, but Nolan laughed hysterically through the whole thing. Love that he is getting to an age where we can share fun things like this! And we've eaten our fair share of cookies- thanks to Cara's annual Cookie Exchange. And we still have 2 weeks to go! Gonna soak up every relaxing minute of it!
