We have pretty much been celebrating Christmas since December 1st. As soon as I erased November from the eraser board calendar, Miss Dainty knew. Every prayer is now ended with Miss Dainty's "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" followed by the question, "So how old is Jesus now?" She makes me smile.
Today, we attended our homeschool group's Christmas party. Miss Dainty had a ton of fun. She played games, decorated cookies, made some ornaments, and listened to the guitar students play some Christmas carols. It was great, and she loved spending time with friends.
After dinner, the girls wanted to finish decorating the Christmas tree. I was trying to wait until Mr. Hubs gets back, but Miss Dainty has been waiting patiently all week, and he had said we could go ahead and finish it without him. So, we did. They clumped the ornaments together at the bottom in some places, and some of the ornaments weren't even hung. Baby D just sort of shoved them in there and they kept falling off, and it took me a while to figure out why! And of course, half of the candy canes did not make it up to the tree. But the girls' expressions were priceless and their joy was contagious.
I have no idea why they decided to keep their jackets on. My kids are such goobers. =) We have also been reading our favorite Christmas book a lot lately:
The First Christmas by Carol Heyer. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the writing is wonderful. Such a great book.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas so far! We are keeping ours very simple this year, and I am truly enjoying it.
