Holiday Happiness

This month has been full of joy and wonder.  This Christmas is truly magical for Morgan and by extension all of us as well.  She is beginning to fully comprehend why we celebrate Jesus' birthday with so much fun.  And she is ready to jump in and join us!  Macie just loves all the lights and decorations!  Below are many of the ways we have been enjoying this season...

 Jeff and Morgan had a date night and went to see Disney on Ice.  Jeff surprised her and she was thrilled!

 While Morgan was away Mommy let Macie into Morgan's room to see her tree.  Shhh... don't tell Morgan!

 Daddy didn't get all the fun!  I took Morgan to see the Nutcracker and to say she loved it would be an understatement.  She was amazed by the ballerinas, costumes, sets and music.  She would chase down the ballerinas after the show to tell them how beautiful they were!

 We also took in the Christmas parade!  While looking for a spot we found the Thomas Family and Morgan was thrilled to watch with her friends!

 Bundled up girls ready to watch

 Morgan's class walked to see Santa one day and to mail the letters they wrote to him.  It was so sweet!

 Sending her list straight to the North Pole

 Loving to visit with Santa this year

 Macie came too but she loved Morgan's jingle bell the best

 Morgan's sweet class

 Once day I took the girls to see Santa at the Mall.  It was Morgan's second time to see him this year and she was ready for more.  Macie?  Not so much.  Macie was still terrified even when Santa hid behind the chair!  Maybe next year?

 Elfie came back!  And this year he brought some friends to help keep and eye on the girls!  Please meet Twinkle (a girl elf) and Jingle Bell the reigndeer

 We also made our first trip to Cotton Plant to see the lights.  After a long wait in traffic we loved getting to walk around and take it all in!  Morgan found some favorites- the penguins and Bully.  Macie kept pointing and saying, "Ooohhh!"

 I think we may be visiting this display for many years to come!

 Morgan has been loving choir this year at church.  She performed in the Choir Christmas Program at church and then they traveled to Traceway Retirement to sing for the residents.

Morgan's class is also learning about giving this holiday season.  They collected canned goods and walked them to Helping Hands, which is a food pantry our church runs.  It was sweet listening to Morgan talk about helping others.

 Stocking the shelves

 Morgan and Mary Tannler are the sweetest friends.  They held hands the whole way! 

 Christmas wouldn't be complete without a HealthWorks! party at Kathy's house!  These crazy ladies are among my many blessings I am thankful for this Christmas.
