Today was the BEST! While we have really been trying hard to stress the real meaning of Christmas to our little babies with reading Christ centered books at bed time, doing all sorts of activities and Bible verses centering around Baby Jesus and an ABC Advent Story every night as well, there are many other things about Christmas that are great too. Today was one of those. After church (where I rocked my sweater dress, leggings and tall, black shiny boots I was a little nervous to wear, but managed to get a few compliments), we spent the whole day at home. We baked sugar cookies, decorated them and ate them. We made chocolate covered pretzels and Oreo truffles and ate plenty of those too! We also attempted some chocolate and mint bark, but I bought the wrong kind of mint so we gave up on that one. Then, once the mess was somewhat cleaned up we sat down to a supper of popcorn on the couch and watched a Christmas Veggie Tales movie, followed by some hide-and-seek in the dark! I had the best hiding spot of the whole game and was amazed that I was able to "hold it" with all of my repressed laughter! Then, we finished off the night with 'L' for Lord of Lords and Laying in a manger with a few beautiful renditions of "Away in a Manger" accompanied by non other than the angel on top of our Little People Nativity Set! Definitely one of the best days EVER!!

| Miss Thumb Sucker helped by eating a cookie! Seriously, this was the best 'help for her, out of the way of the messy frosting! |
