Cedar Creek Church Light Display

We went over to Cedar Creek Church to see their light display. The boys thought it was really cool. We sat in the van and listened to Christmas music from the Trans Siberian Orchestra, which was choreographed to the lights. Afterward we went to McDonald's for supper. Now, THAT was awesome. Or so the boys said.

Caleb's Christmas Party

I thought this little boy was so cute. He sure liked his cupcake.

Who swiped the "Y"?

Singing "Happy Birthday, Jesus"

Joah, Daniel and I went to St. Jerome Preschool for Caleb's classroom party. The kids made a bead craft, played Christmas bingo, sang happy birthday to Jesus and ate cupcakes and cookies. Joah liked playing with the water fountain...a lot. His sweater ended up all wet. Caleb had fun and wished everyone a Merry Christmas!

Caleb's Advent Chain

Caleb's homework was to make an Advent chain. He cut the strips of paper all by himself and looped them into the links. I taped them together for him. He made a link for each day until Christmas. Everyday he cuts a link off the chain and then counts the links remaining. Joah "helped" too.
