Merry Christmas

With all the holiday events I have been a little behind on blogging, so I appologize now for the long post.  Christmas is one of my favorite holidays so we had lots of activities going on.  We started the traditions off with going to to see lights and taking our picture. 

 Since Ethan is getting older I thought that it would be fun to do an Advent type calendar.  each day he had a special Christmas activity and we read a bible verses.  There were times we got behind and had to play catch up.

 One of his biggest activities was going on a plane ride over Chickasha to see the lights.  This was an amazing experience for all of us.  Thanks Nana, Papa and Bubba for this fun trip.

We also celebrated Mike's 30th Birthday this month.

Ethan has his first Christmas Musical.  His class sang Jingle Bells.  This was so cute and Ethan loved singing his song.  Only problem was Ethan ended up moving to the back as he wanted to stand next to his little girl friend, Brooklyn and was bocked most of the song.

We spent Christmas Eve with the Parrish family.  We had a great night celebrating this special holiday with our family.

Christmas Morning!  We stayed the night with my parents as this has come a family tradition.  It was so precious waking up Ethan.  He was very excited to see that Santa had come to visit.

Family Tradition, PJs on Christmas Eve

We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.  We loved spending time with our family and friends.  It is a true blessing that Jesus Christ was born for us and the promises he has made to us.  One of the most exciting events was Ethan was able to attend his first communion the Sunday before Christmas.  Ethan was so sweet asking us to get a birthday cake for Christmas since he knew it was Jesus birthday.  We have been so blessed and hope to continue in our growth with God.  We Love you all.
