Our first Sleepover

For the first time Jordan had someone spend the night. Yes...3 is a little young for this, but it was our cousin Peyton and she is only in town once maybe twice a year.

The girls wore eachother's pajamas (should have gotten a better picture of that), and they slept in Jordan's queen sized-bed. Peyton is still on central standard time, so around 9 when they went to bed, she was out while Jordan continued to sing to her. Also because of the central standard time, Jordan walked Peyton into our room at 5:55 am because, "Momma, Peyton has to go potty." Oh well! No one woke up through the night.

We went to Bethlehem!

During Jonathan's finals week, Josiah Jordan and I went with our friends Dan and Mindi to a live nativity. I remember doing this when I was young with my mom and dad and it really gives you a better picture of what it was like for Jesus to be born in a stable.
Well, the kids enjoyed seeing the live animals (camels, sheep, etc) and Jordan even tried to feed and pet some of them. A good time was had by all!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.....

Can't you hear the song? Since I am having a hard time getting used to the warm weather here in California during the Christmas season, today was the first day that it actually felt like it was December. And no...it was not because it was cold. It was still in the high 70's.

No the reason that it finally felt like it was December and nearly Christmas was because we had our first Christmas program that my kids got to be a part of, and we went and cut down our Christmas tree down and have it up and in the house now. To give you a little background as to why the kids have on beaks and wings, they did Christmas around the world at church today, and the pre-K's sang about a bird from Ireland.
