Christmas Festivities

December was devoted to Christmas festivities.  We did lots of fun things!  These pictures and high lights may not be in chronological order.

*Kyper was in 2 Christmas programs.  One with church (videos in previous blog post) and one with preschool.
Here one snippet of the preschool program:

*We decorated the tree (actually Kyper did about 90% of it) and the house.

Even Blub Blub got into the Christmas mood

I made this at MOPS event--Thanks to a friend for helping me do the letters.

*We got plenty of snow in December and enjoyed playing in it.

*We found a new game to play with the dump truck.

*We made different kinds of yummy food

Anja got to help clean up the seafoam.

Christmas cookies

Christmas wreaths

Christmas Eve steak dinner

Christmas day breakfast--sticky buns and candy canes

*We opened some gifts.  We give the kids a present on Dec. 6 (Sinterklaas Day) and then we opened the rest on Christmas morning.  We don't have any pics of Sinterklaas day.  The tradition is to give them new pajamas so they can wear them throughout the Christmas season.

Christmas morning-stockings are full
