It truly feels like Christmas time. Lights are up, decorations are out and the holiday baking has begun. We've been listening to our Christmas cd's, my favorites are Christmas Peace by Elvis and Raffi's Christmas Album. We found our Christmas tree a few weeks ago and Addison had so much fum helping decorate it. I've been absolutely amazed that she a has never once taken anything back off the tree. We gave her her own little people nativity and she has spent hours playing with it. She can spot any baby Jesus in the manger from across the room, and says "Jesus night, night." So sweet to watch.
Adam got our outside lights up before the blizzard and the house looks beautiful all lit up. Most of the Christmas shopping is complete, presents are wrapped and under the tree. I made my annual Christmas caramels last night and Alan and Adam helped me get them all wrapped up tonight while Connie entertained Addison. I'm very grateful for the help, it would have been a daunting task done alone!
I had the opportunity to go to Omaha over the weekend with a couple friends to see a Christmas pageant, called the Christmas Letter, it was so much fun! The pageant included a great story, lots of singing and dancing and live animals, including camels! What a wonderful way to celebrate the season!
Addison wore her Christmas dress to church this morning. She looked adorable if I may say so myself. Her grandma Schneider gave her a beautiful black wool coat and she has a red hat to match. She looked very festive.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season!
Love,
the Hoaglands
