Here is a recap of our pre-Christmas fun
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we have made it a tradition to go cut down our Christmas tree
Audrey found her favorite
Elliott found one for him
But mommy found the winner

Eric and the kids decorating their tree
Audrey was happy to be reunited with her beloved Little People Nativity Scene
The next weekend was Dollar Days in Baltimore, so we headed to the National Aquarium. It cost us $3 instead of the $70 it would have been.

It is a tradition to see hundred of men dressed up as Santa that weekend. We found this group in the bar at noon. Luckily Audrey didn't ask too many questions.
The kids sang some Christmas songs for us during church. Audrey loved it and said, "I like being on stage!" Her father's daughter!
Decorating a gingerbread house with my little elves.
We went to our friend Virginia's annual Christmas party which always has the most gourmet food. We snapped our Christmas picture with a tripod and timer as we were going out the door. It was a Christmas miracle!
We walked on 34th street in Hampden to see the lights before the party
Audrey and her friend Amelia enjoying some hot chocolate
We had a church outreach one Sunday and gave out
65 bags of holiday food to families in need.
We also had a "free store" and Audrey wasn't sure about
some of her toys being donated.
I taught preschool the Tuesday before Christmas- "C is for Christmas"
We put on a mini Christmas pageant
This is my favorite picture of Audrey (the Angel)
telling Amelia (Mary) of the news to come.
Great shock factor!
We also did a little Happy Birthday Jesus party after lunch
Kate also made my house look so pretty at Christmastime
