Pre-Christmas festivities

This was taken on St. Nick's day in early December. We celebrate the tradition of the boy who became Santa Clause. His feast day is Dec 6th and children would set out their shoes the night before and St. Nick would fill the childrens shoes with candy and change to spread the spirit of giving. This is Josh digging in his shoes! and Jeep trying to eat Ellie's fruit snacks.

This is them with the christmas tree. We put our tree up at Nana and Papa's house this year. They were so generous to share their space with us! The kids got their nativity on St. Nick day to help in teaching moments all season long! They loved it!!

This was Josh's christmas program at school this year. They sang about 5-6 songs. Josh , rather than singing, just looked at the kids around him wondering what was going on. It was hysterical! Then they had hand bells and played jingle bells. Impressive! Josh is in the front row, second from the left. Lunch with Santa in Albion with grandma

Zach's holiday choir christmas "concert." Zach is in the last row, about 6 from the left.
