Christmas

Since we just moved into our house 3 days before Christmas we had a lot of unpacking to do and just barely got the Christmas tree up on Christmas Eve. Lizzy had a great time helping us decorate it and it was so nice having Christmas in our "new" house.

Acting out the Nativity on Christmas Eve.  Lizzy was so cute - without any
direction, she took the baby doll that was going to be baby Jesus and
stuck him under her shirt for the trip to Bethlehem.

Santa came!

Lizzy was so much fun for Christmas this year.  She really enjoyed putting out cookies for Santa and she was so excited about the whole process.  She even learned about how Santa only comes for kids who are being good.  She knew that Santa only comes when you are asleep and she talked about how he was super quiet that night when he came-- so that she didn't even know he was there.  After a long December, it was such a nice quiet Christmas at home.
