I am not a crafty person, so I just had to show you these adorable sock snowmen I made at GEMS, I'm quite proud of them :) and very thankful for a co-leader who is very much crafty so the girls can make cute stuff
Our big event for the week was going to pick out a Christmas tree! The boys are at such a fun age where this is a big deal to them and they loved getting to help pick it out
Watching them tie it up so it's be easier to take home in our van
Putting on ornaments
All decorated!!
Saturday morning I went over to church to practice for Sunday and when I came home I found this, all three just playing nicely together on the couch. It was so cute and made this mommy smile
They love playing with Daddy
Micah didn't want to come with me to the grocery store Monday morning, so Jonathan got to come and while he was not the helper Micah is, he was highly entertaining :)
We finally got the Christmas lights up outside
Remember how I said the bumps and bruises :). So while I was putting up the decorations outside the boys were out there with Steve chasing each other. Steve would run backwards as they tried to catch him and then turn and run. So David decided to try that and was running backwards and turned right into a tree :) But it hasn't slowed him down in the least
My baking assistant. No idea why he made this face :). We were taking a picture to send my Mom to tell her he needed a new apron so he didn't have to wear mommy's (my Mom made him one probably 3 years ago that's a little small now :)) and this was the face I got :)
Cutting out our Christmas cookies. It was so cute, Saturday I was watching The Pioneer Woman and Micah loves to watch it with me. She made these Christmas cookies and Micah told me he really wanted to make them. So we did :). And they turned out really cute, are delicious, and are making great Christmas treats for our Children's librarian, Little Lambs leaders, and anyone else we need to give something to. :)
I did eventually lose my helpers :). Of course, given the fact that David and Jonathan were just getting flour on their hands and then clapping and watching the flour go everywhere, I wasn't too disappointed :)
They did come back to taste test :)
And put the sprinkles on
But yes, they turned out very cute!
And that's all I got. :) Steve and I did get to go out to dinner and to the play "The Christmas Story Musical" on Friday night with friends. It was so nice to catch up with our friends and the play was so cute. It was based on the movie "The Christmas Story" and was just really fun. And then last night I got to go to the Michael W. Smith Christmas concert with the Grand Rapids Symphony with a lady from church. It was awesome!! But unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures :). But I'm guessing you'd rather see pictures of our adorable children than us anyways. :)
