Christmas Parties and Christmas Eve

We had a busy past week or so. Lots of Christmas celebrations, shopping, visits with Santa, and cookie decorating. Grace and Isaac both attended my Bible Study Christmas party with me. They were so good. I was a little nervous to take them out past their bedtimes, but the evening was filled with good food and lots of helping hands. It was a great confidence booster. Then, the next night, Isaac and I went to a Christmas party for the Children's Ministry team at church and once again, Isaac was just wonderful. I again had lots of helping hands and a fun evening. Sid's office party was last weekend. Grace stayed with a sitter and we brought Isaac along. Sid works with such an amazing group of people. We are blessed that he has a job he loves and that he works with people he likes and respects. Grace had a big week at pre-school last week. She had her class party and then the Christmas program. So adorable. Finally, we made and decorated cookies this evening and tucked in a very excited 2-yr old. She is convinced that Santa is bringing her a "pink schooter" aka a pink scooter. I guess we'll just have to see! Merry Christmas Eve-
Grace loves for her baby to be just like Baby Isaac.
Grace's friend Addie has on the same Christmas dress at their class party. Both girls were so cute hanging out together.
This picture is from the Christmas program. The 2 yr olds sat in the front. Grace is sitting by her two best friends, Ryen and Hayden.
Oh Boy- Grace only had 6 cookies to decorate- and I think it took her 45 min and a huge mess! But she was having so much fun and kept saying "Santa is going to be so happy!"
Both of the rugrats are bathed, fed and ready for bed in their Christmas pj's.
