catching up on christmas eve

The week sure got away from me! I’ve been busy baking, entertaining, crafting, shopping, wrapping and celebrating. No computer time for this mama! So here is our week in review:

Christmas crafts:

This foam tree craft was one of our advent gifts. Delaney loved decorating her very own tree!

This Santa ornament was made from salt dough. We rolled it out and baked it and then painted it to make it look like a shiny Santa!

Our annual Christmas celebration with our dear friends. We’ve been doing this since the big kids were Delaney’s age!

We also got together with Nate’s former nurse (that’s a sad story that I don’t want to talk about right now) and her family.

The three kids are wild and have so much fun. Could’ve been the sugary vintage soda we gave them!

Delaney is very protective of my nativity set. Especially after last year when she thought it would be a good idea to play with the pieces and broke Joseph into a million pieces. I did manage to repair him and you can only tell if you look at his back side.

So Delaney gets a little distraught when the cats are hanging around baby Jesus. The other day she reported that “Jinx is sitting on the ‘Away in a Manger’ book.”
