Christmas Program

We had the priviledge of going to see Alex sing in her preschool Christmas concert tonight. She was so excited to get all dressed up and sing the Christmas songs she's been practicing for quite some time! She is so much fun to watch! She really get's into the hand motions, it's adorable. Brock's parents came to watch as well which she was very excited about!

To change things up a bit we decided to celebrate St. Nicholas Day this year. We read a children's book about St. Nicholas Day to help the girls get a better understanding of who St. Nicholas was and why we celebrate this day. The kids got to open their stockings which was fun. It's a nice way to spread out all the presents and festivities. It can be a little overwhelming to do stockings and presents all on Christmas morning.
