Christmas Traditions

We went to get out tree at the Farmer's Market.

Katie was scared of the trees and Maggie was scared of the machine that wraps up the tree. 

The next night we hung our ornaments. It's always fun to hang our ornaments. Each one has some meaning. And then we have "fillers"....to fill in the rest of the tree. 

 The girls wore their matching pjs. 

One morning we had pancakes...in another set of matching pjs (thanks Mia and Papa!) 

Maggie was in her first Christmas Program. Our church had a sweet little music program.

 Ed came...

 ...and Mia and Papa.

Another tradition is Riverside United Methodist Church's live nativity. Ed was Caesar Augustus.

I have also enjoyed reading through Scripture with the girls. We have an Advent Tree....little windows open and have a slip of paper with Scripture and Reese cups. We started in the old testament and are now in the new. It has been my favorite part of the season so far!
