Lots of Christmas Fun!

Search for Baby Jesus!!
We went ahead and had Christmas with Greg's side of the family this weekend (because we can;) and we started off the weekend with a little scavenger hunt that MawMaw and Poppa put together to search for baby Jesus. At first the kids weren't too sure about the hunt but after the first stop they really got into it and had fun finding all the stars around town leading us to Jesus! (more pictures from the weekend to come)

Clue #2 leading us to the city Christmas tree

Looking for the clue at the fountain at church that is shaped like a star

Debbie's old baby doll when she was a kid....sorry Debbie that baby was a bit unfortunate:) ~ But the hunt was a blast!!



At school Reese made a baby Jesus craft and he loved it so much he wanted to make some for his sister and his cousins here in Texas. This was his first time to use a glue gun (supervised) and he did great --I was the one that got burnt...classic:)

Concentrating very hard!!

Isn't that cute---he's so proud!


Abby had a half day Friday so we put together a gingerbread house. The kids love to decorate it and as soon as we are done Reese is ready to eat it. He doesn't seem to understand that it's for decoration and it doesn't even taste good:) Now every time I see him his lips are red from eating the icing off the roof--sneaky little snake!

Me attempting to put together the house--normally Greg does this but he was out of town for the day so it was all up to me...yikes!:)

It's holding together....for now!

Kids decorating the gingerbread house--very messy:)



This week Abby had her school Christmas Party and I was able to help out. She has been so excited for school to get out and couldn't wait for her class party! They had lots of crafts,bingo and food (a fairly good amount of junk food;)
