Christmas Duds..

I love to pick out a beautiful new dress for my girls to have for a Christmas dress. If you know my girls, they love dresses. They love sparkly and they love a little poof, so I snatched these up when I saw them! Of course, then you have to dress up the boy too and I thought this combo was pretty cute. Unfortunately, Cason was asleep when the girls got dressed, so we'll have to get a picture all together next week. Good thing my kids love to pose for the camera!

On Wednesday was Raeley's school Christmas Concert. Crystal was great and watched Mya and Cason for us so we got to just sit and enjoy the show. Raeley was in the choir (blue gown) as well as singing with her class. They sang "Santa is Magic", thus the wands. I could see her singing her heart out and she had been practicing at home, so I know she knew the songs well!

We also went to see Santa this weekend. I like to take them because they ask that you donate a toy to the Santa Claus Fund to visit Santa. It is a great teaching moment I think for the kids. I take them and let pick out a toy they would like and know a kid their age would like, that they can give away. Mya is a little young still, but this year it hit Raeley a little harder. She picked out something that she really liked and was kind of upset she had to give it away. So we had a talk about why we have Christmas and it would make her feel really good to give it away and all that good stuff. They did great, dropped them in the bin to be given away! (no tears)

It was a fun week, and we can't wait for Christmas and to have fun with all of our family!
