Let the Christmas Festivities Begin

The day after we got home from our Thanksgiving trip, we visited our favorite Christmas tree farm to pick out the perfect tree.  Santa just happened to stop by while we were there.  Both of our kids just love him.  I wondered if Cooper might be scared, but I have yet to see anything that he is even the slightest bit afraid of.  Seriously, the boy has no fear.  Which scares me!  I am envisioning when he's 16 and driving...yikes!  Anyway, back to Christmas...we found a tree we love and had a great afternoon making the house look festive.

 This is it!




This is the year of Christmas pageants for us.  Lainey was an angel in an old fashioned Christmas pageant at church this week.  They performed it for the senior citizen's dinner and it was adorable.  

 All the sweet angels waiting backstage
 They worked so hard to learn their lines and songs

Cooper is playing the part of the toddler Jesus in our church wide pageant .  It's coming up this weekend so we've had dress rehearsal every night this week.  There is a song where the wise men come to visit Jesus and bring him gifts.  Every time they approach Coop with the gifts, he opens his mouth wide and looks so surprised.  It is the cutest thing I have ever seen.  I'll try to get a picture of it tonight to post.  It is such fun for Jamie and I to watch both of our kids act out this story that we love so much.  To see Lainey understand what Christmas is all about is such a blessing.  So thankful for these opportunities.
