Happy Birthday Jesus!

The Friday before Christmas the girls and I went to a birthday party for Jesus hosted by our good friends Rebekah, Tirzah and Jude.  We had a great time with all the kids and it was so fun watching our kids get excited about Jesus' birthday!  Rebekah had crafts, yummy food, movies and the kids' favorite - CUPCAKES!  When you're done looking at the pictures be sure to watch the video of the kids singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus!

Decorating Christmas Cookies

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas time is decorate cookies.  A couple Tuesdays before Christmas (the 9th) the girls and I made a bunch of cookies for them to decorate with their friends Jude and Tirzah the next day.  They really did a pretty good job, especially compared to last year!  I wasn't sure how it would go juggling the 4 kids and their decorating but it was so fun to watch them and their creativity and their different styles as you'll see in the pictures.  Oh and Madeline was responsible for cutting out all the names and ages - she was really proud of that!
