Christmas 2012

 Ben's gifts from Santa

 Philip's gifts from Santa

 Ready to go see if Santa came!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and are so blessed!

Christmas Eve 2012

 We had a full Christmas Eve.  We went to noon communion at church, then an evening candlelight service.

 After dinner, we put on our Christmas pajamas and went outside to spread the reindeer food.

 Philip had to teach Ben what to do with the reindeer food this year. 

Last, we put out cookies and milk for Santa and headed to bed!

Christmas Cookies

 We made Christmas cookies the Sunday afternoon before Christmas Eve.

 The boys helped cut out the cookies and decorated them.

 Ben really liked the sprinkles!

 Now we have some cookies to leave for Santa!

Philip's Class Christmas Party - 2012

 Philip's Kindergarten class had their Christmas party the week before Christmas holidays.

 They decorated gingerbread men with all the other classes.

 Next they made reindeer food.

 They also made this reindeer bag to put their reindeer food in.

They had a really fun party!

Philip's Kindergarten Christmas Play

 Trinity has an annual Kindergarten Christmas play.  Philip was a narrator.

 The play tells the Christmas story through songs and the narrators.

 Philip saying his part, which he spent several weeks memorizing.

 The play has changed a little over the years, but it is still the same basic play that Mommy and Uncle Rob were both in many years ago.

Philip did great and we were so proud of him!
