This was the night we decorated our Christmas tree.
Every year we just love to put all of the decorations on.
Jonas has enjoyed putting the candy canes down low
right where he can reach them! : )
O Christmas Tree!
We baked and decorated a wonderful variety of Christmas cookies
for Mark's co workers as well as to share with Jonas' class and some
friends in the Mom's club.
They were very yummy!
The Mexican Wedding Cakes are my favorite!!
The Wednesday before Christmas vacation was Jonas' first school
Christmas program. He is pretty shy around all the strangers in the audience!
He sat on his teacher's lap and wouldn't smile. Poor little man.
He didn't sing for the program but
filled our house with the songs he learned all week!
That Friday was his class Christmas Party!!
I was one of the hosting moms for the party. The kids played with balloons,
enjoyed a great snack of cookies and had a lot of fun together!
Jonas says good-bye to his teacher, Mrs. Farr. Mrs. Farr
gave all of the kids a gift bag full of fun things!
This was one of his favorites!! ha ha!
Happy Christmas Vacation!!
Decorating ginger bread houses at Eli's house.
Jonas and the kids from church put on a Christmas program.
They sang Silent Night and several other songs. It was very cute!
Jonas was pretty shy the whole time.
The kids did a great job!
After the program we put up some more Christmas decorations.
On Christmas Eve, Mark started a campfire outside.
Jonas and the neighbor
Erin played outside. They had a great time!
We stayed out until after dark and then came in and
had some yummy Christmas treats!
We put some delicious Christmas cookies and milk out for Santa as well.
Jonas was very excited for Christmas morning to come!
He wanted to know when Santa would arrive.
Christmas morning came and Jonas was thrilled to see all the gifts under the tree!
He spotted a Hula Hoop first! He had fun unwrapping it....
with a bit of Daddy's help
Then he opened the Toy Story scooter! It was a big hit!!
He loves his Leapster Explorer too. He has caught on so quickly!
He had even more fun with it after he opened the
Toy Story 3 game!
It was a fun Christmas for our little boy.
This Christmas was filled with joy and love and a whole
lot of fun!
