Christmas Is Coming!

Preparing for Christmas is a big part of the fun of the season. We have been enjoying every moment!

The kids love this special book we received from Grammy and Grandpa Brown a few years back.  It's a recordable book- they recorded their voices reading the Charlie Brown Christmas story.  The kids listen to it year after year.
Breakfast with Santa at SFX!
The kids had fun helping me decorate the house.  This is our Dicken's Village.
The tree is trimmed...
I love having these skaters; I grew up loving them and now my kids do, too.  And this rotating tree plays pretty Christmas music as it turns!
The warm fireplace.  Peace is always top of mind this time of year...
At SFX Church for the grade school Christmas concert.  The kids all did a great job!
Decorating cookies to give to neighbors!
Tyler and his buddy James at the SFX early childhood Christmas show
(They were adorable little singing angels!)
Cassie performed at the SFX Irish Dance Christmas Ceili, a great night as always.
Christmas Eve Mass 
Leaving out milk and cookies (and carrots)!  I wonder what the morning will bring...
