Day 22: Buy a new Ornament for our Tree
This year we went for the inexpensive ornament and with Sophi's helped picked this cute monkey to remind us of the two crazy "monkeys" in our house!
Day 23: Make Gingerbread houses
This is one of my favorite days! Josh is always home with us for this one and it is so fun to do this as a family! This year we had the Charlie Brown theme going and I couldn't resist buying this snoopy kit! Sophi loves all things candy of course so she LOVED this activity. I think she ate more than she decorated!
Day 24: Open one gift
Usually this is a small gift like Christmas Pajamas but this year, since we were headed to Atlanta that evening, the girls got to open their big gifts from us.
Sophi got a new Grocery store for her playroom. She loves both shopping at it and being the cashier!
Maddie got a fun push/ride toy that she will be able to grow into for quite awhile!
This is how Sophi found Mary and Joseph Christmas Eve morning, at the stable awaiting the arrival of their baby son!
Christmas Eve we typically spend with Josh's family in Columbia, TN. We had such a fun time opening gifts and sharing special memories with Grammy and Poppy, Matt and Nichole and all the cousins!
Grammy started the tradition a few years ago of making a birthday cake for Jesus. We all sing happy birthday and the each kid gets to blow out the candle on the cake. So fun!
After our time at the Strahans we loaded up the car and headed to Atlanta to celebrate Christmas day with the Scobeys. Sophi enjoyed watching A Charlie Brown Christmas before drifting off to sleep with excited anticipation of all that was to come the next day!
