Merry Christmas Adam!

"Merry Christmas Everybody, Merry Christmas!"


Monday: Nativity FHE at the Talbots, featuring Tage, the Shepherd.

Tage didn't want to be a shepherd and wear the robe, but after some bribing (hooray for candy!) she agreed to put it on. Chocolate works for a lot of things in our house!



Tuesday: CHRISTMAS EVE! Okay, so it is really only Christmas Adam, but we are headed to Mom Mom and Pop Pop's tomorrow, so we decided to have Christmas a day early and do some celebrating with our own little family.

Tage helped make popcorn, and wanted to be the one to hold the towel (our popper is crazy, so we use a towel to shield the flying kernels...) Then we got a plate of goodies and laid out a blanket and watched "Christmas on Sesame Street" which is probably the coolest Christmas movie EVER! I used to watch it when I was a little girl, and my mom found it on DVD for me! Poor Big Bird freezes his giblets... (what??)

This must have been a really intense part of the movie... I think it was at the beginning, when Cookie Monster is doing some extreme ice skating, trying to jump over ONE... TWO... THREE! THREE barrels! Ah, ah, ah, ah.....

After the movie, we got ready for bed, and Tage put out some cookies and milk for Santa and went to bed very excited. It was a fun evening, and I can't wait for tomorrow morning!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! It really is the best time of the year, eh?
