Being in Texas, and sharing in all of the Allen Christmas traditions, has been so much fun! Tori has been adding many new dresses to her collection - Sunday she wore her second Christmas dress to church. I think she really liked it!
Here we are as a family after church!
After church, we were able to have a delicious dinner at G Gpa and G Gma Jones house. After dinner we were able to play Christmas songs with chimes. I have to admit that we weren't so great to start out with. But after a little practice, we were quite the chime choir!!!
Monday night we read a wonderful story about service for Family Home Evening. In the story, the family put one piece of straw into a manger for every act of service they performed for their secret person. The goal was to build a soft manger bed for Baby Jesus to rest in on Christmas day. After reading the story, we all picked names and started our own manger. It has been so fun seeing all of the little acts of service that have been rendered the last few days. I am sure that Baby Jesus is going to have a wonderful manger bed waiting for Him!
Tori has had so much fun examining (and eating) the Christmas ornaments!
Tonight we all decorated gingerbread Christmas trees. It was so much fun seeing the creative juices flow.
Tori didn't seem to be too impressed...
But we all did have a great time together!!!
