Here it is a month after Boxing Day and I'm finally putting some Christmas pictures on here. The week before Christmas we tried to cram in as much fun as we could.
One of the best things about Christmas time is the 2 week break from school. Kaleb & Noe brought home lots of little crafty treasures on the last day including these Santa and Mrs. Santa ornaments they painted. They're kinda cute and kinda scary- tee hee.
We donated to the Toy Mountain this year. Kaleb donated some little cars for a bigger boy, while Gavin donated a bigger car for a smaller boy.
Noe donated a Barbie doll, while Teague donated a baby doll (but I'm keeping my baby doll!)
We went to a live Nativity Pageant performance in the -20* freezing weather. Our fingers froze and our nose and toes, but our hearts were warmed. We really missed performing in the pageant in Taiwan though.
After the pageant we went inside the church to see the beautiful creche displays from around the world. We shared one of ours as well.
We warmed up some more with some hot chocolate and timbits!
We were spoiled with yummy homemade gifts of soup and cookie mixes from friends at church.
The kids also got these adorable snowmen (Smarties) from their Primary teacher.
The kids put on the cutest Christmas play with our sweet neighbors. They wrote a script, memorized it, had several scenes and in between each scene played corresponding Christmas music. I was really impressed!
The stars of the show- Santa, Rudolph, Baby Elf, and Head Elf.
We went Christmas carolling with the Matthews family and it was so heartwarming to watch the kids get in to it and to see the sweet surprised faces on the other side of the doors.
We also drove down Taffy Lane to see the amazing Christmas light displays.
Christmas Eve pics coming soon!

What fun you guys had at Christmas it looks so story bookish, I hope you're feeling better, I have a cold and it's snowing today but it's pretty and we're ready for it again. The kids are growing up, Teague what a cutie! and Gavin too. Miss you guys. I was just on Lori's blog, ahh warm January in Taiwan but it's fun to have the cold snow sometimes too.
