Christmas Festivities

We've been completely enjoying this Christmas season!  I love everything about Christmas!  The Christmas songs, decorations, holiday activities, and getting to decorate cookies every other night! One of our most favorite things is to drive around looking at for Christmas lights!  I say looking "for" because it seems that there are less and less each year.  So sad!  (We got ours up, but we did downscale from last year!)  We have Christmas music playing in the car everywhere we go, unless Daddy forgets his ear plugs.  We've been doing tons of Christmas themed crafts and drawings.  We've also been to many Christmas activities in and around our area.  The first was the English Brother's Christmas Chuckwagon Supper and Show.  (Their site:  English Brothers)  We've been to this a few times, but this was our first Christmas Show.  Momo and Mop joined us and it was so much fun!  Hudson loved listening to the music and watching the show!

We also went to watch the very talented Blaire Hambrick in her church Christmas program.  She is an unbelievable actress and an even better singer.  She blew our socks off!  Way to go, Blaire!

Next on our list was the North Pole Village in Canyon Lake.  This is a MUST for us every year!  It's indoors (Yea!) and there are several little buildings set up, each with a different activity.  There's a library where they can pick out a free book, a toy store where they can pick out a toy, Pet Store with puppies, a Fishing Hole, Face Painting, Cookie Decorating, Hay Ride, etc.  It's really a wonderful place and the girls love it!

Kenedy's Kindergarten Christmas Party was also a lot of fun!  More Christmas Crafts, Christmas Cookies, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!!

Another outing was to the Trail of Lights in Wimberley.  This is another one we frequent during the Christmas season and Mema and PawPaw (my parents) joined us again this year.  It's a walk-through with thousands of lights and little scenes, and live music by a fire pit where you can roast free hot dogs and marshmallows.  They even have hot chocolate!  Still yummy even though is was 70 degrees outside!

Hadyn just couldn't resist making sure Baby Jesus was comfortable!

Last, but certainly not least, we attended a Christmas Party for my 96 year old grandmother, Noni, at her nursing home. The entire family was there and it so great to catch up with everyone. I think Noni had a wonderful time and we really enjoyed sharing part of this Christmas with her.

Oh my gosh!  I'm exhausted just trying to recall all of that!  I guess that'll do it for this year's activities as Christmas is right around the corner!  December has just flewn by!  Oh, one more thing... Santa emailed us videos of him talking to the girls about his Naughty/Nice List and such.  Hadyn watched hers before Kenedy got home from shopping with Daddy.  I should've had the camera, because her face was priceless.  It was almost as good the second time around after she had explained it to Kenedy:

Santa, we're ready now...
