a Christmas-y kind of week

We've had a fun week of all things Christmas, including singing lots of Christmas songs at home and on the go, reading Christmas stories each night, talking about the Christmas story, pretending to be Mary and Joseph (with Jesus played by a baby doll :)), watching Christmas movies, hearing a Christmas story at story time and baking lots of Christmas goodies.

We spent all day Monday at my dear friend, Michelle's, house baking different Christmas cookies and just hanging out with her, her son, Tanner, our dear friend, Elisabeth, and her daughter, Isabella. The kids had a blast while moms baked and chatted. What a fantastic way to spend a mid-December day...enjoying the company of sweet friends and baking some sweet treats! 

We also had the opportunity later in the week to hang out and bake Christmas goodies with more dear friends, Allyson, her daughter, Eden, Jennifer, and her daughter, Maggie. Thanks again girls for such a fun afternoon!

I look forward to another fun-filled week of Christmas activities. We have more books to read, more movies to watch, gifts to wrap, more goodies to bake and a gingerbread house to make!
