We’ve been really busy leading up to Christmas this year! We started off the Christmas Season with arts and crafts at our church again this year.
Kaitlyn started out making a Christmas Card…
Then moved on to cookie decorating…
And ornament making…
And coloring…
Then it was time for a snack…
While I finished up our advent wreath…
I helped Kaitlyn make a Rudolph and a Christmas tree out of pine cones, since Kevin claimed both were beyond his craft skills.
Now that Kaitlyn is getting older she enjoys being able to help decorate the tree.
Of course we love going to Holidays at Hadlock. This year they had a reindeer petting area!
Mmmm. Roasting marshmallows for s’mores!
Taking a horse and carriage ride around the warm-up track was pretty cool!
Kaitlyn had a lot of fun at the Police Department’s family Christmas party. She decorated cookies, made an ornament, and sat on Santa’s lap for a picture and a present.
Opening her present from Santa…
Kaitlyn LOVED her present.
This past Thursday was Kaitlyn’s Christmas Concert at school.
Pre-K and Kindergarten sang "’Must be Santa’ and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town’. The only problem with being taller than everyone in your class and most of the Kindergarten class is you get relegated to the back row.
This past Friday, Kaitlyn slept over at Mammy’s house while Kevin and I headed off to Inn by the Sea to enjoy the free stay that I won. Kaitlyn had fun making a gingerbread train and wearing out Mammy. Kevin and I enjoyed an ocean-view room with a gas fireplace. The Sea Glass Restaurant’s food was amazing. It was sooo nice having great food without bending over to pick up crayons or answer the same question five times in a row.
I did miss my baby girl though and I am looking forward to making a gingerbread house with her this weekend and if we keep our power through out the ice storm we will be baking cookies for Santa as well!
