Christmas Fun

Decorating gingerbread houses at Christmas has become a highlight of the season and one the girls look forward to.  I was amazed to watch Adair decorate her house completely independant of our help this year.

As much as Emalyn wanted to do it herself, she and Hank worked as a team.  They came up with a pretty neat design, too!

Myla Grant and I worked as a team...I decorated and she ate the gumdrops.

We had fun with the Hassenfusses and Halcombs at the Homewood Christmas Parade, another highlight of the season.

Zoo Light Safari is also something the girls look forward to each year.  They love all things with Christmas lights.  In addition to the zoo lights, we also love going to see the lights on Barry Avenue where a Homewood resident decorates his house with lights set to music.  His effort is such a blessing to all of the kids in our community!

On Christmas Eve, we baked cookies with Nona.  The girls had so much fun mixing up the dough, rolling it into balls and then in sprinkles.  They were delicious, but certainly not germ free.

On Christmas Eve night, we celebrated Christ's birth at our church.
