Santa, Christmas Cookies, Rhema Christmas Lights

M&M were both excited to visit Santa this year!  Big M asked for a globe for Christmas and Little M asked Santa to bring her a Sophia the First Desk.

Our Christmas season just wouldn't be complete without baking and decorating sugar cookies. M&M enjoy cutting out the cookies then covering the baked cookies with icing.  Of course, the cookies just wouldn't be complete without SPRINKLES!

 

 

 We also enjoyed a "warmer" winter evening with a walk through the Rhema Christmas lights...I think it is becoming a tradition. And, to M&M it just isn't the same if we don't stop and get some Starbucks hot chocolate to drink as we walk through the lights.

Christmas Cookies

We had lots of fun making Christmas cookies this last weekend, which has become an annual Christmas tradition for us.  The girls are getting closer to being able to squeeze the icing onto the cookies on their own.  Can't wait until they are old enough to take a cake decorating class...would be so much fun for them! 

Rudolph of the Day!!

Lots of special things going on around here!  Big M was selected as the Rudolph of the Day in her first grade class one day this week.  The Rudolph of the Day is selected for being a good leader and gets to have their nose painted red like Rudolph and gets to wear antlers.  She also got  the opportunity to be the line leader all day!  She loved it! 

Christmas Dance Performances

It was in-class Christmas performances at dance class this week.  Both girls had fun showing us what they had been working on in class. They especially loved the cookie party once it was all over.  Hope you enjoy the holiday dances too! 

HO! HO! HO! Merry Christmas!

The girls enjoyed visiting Santa at Bass Pro Shop early this week.  Big M asked him for a Crayola Air Brush Marker Set, and Little M has her sights set on a Dora doll that does gymnastics.   

Not only is Big M asking for the art set, but she is also asking for her two front teeth!  She lost them both recently and now has the cutest little gap in her smile.  Several other first grade classmates have the same smile...all so cute!
