Holiday Fun

We took part in some fun activities to get our house and our spirits ready for Christmas. This season was especially fun because for the first time Riley could really start to understand what Christmas was about. He not only knew that Santa was going to come to our house with his reindeer to bring presents for him, but he knew that the presents were because it was Baby Jesus' birthday. Riley also took part in our church's annual Christmas program with his preschool Sunday School class - they dressed as angels and sang "Away in a Manger" (although if you asked Riley he told you that was going to sing "Away in an Angel"). Plus the fact that it was Jonah's first Christmas made it special all by itself!

First, we decorated our Christmas tree:








We baked cookies with friends:






And we decorated a Gingerbread House:
