Live Nativity, Gingerbread houses, and the Lights

We just had another great weekend with the girls.
John brought them home on Friday night.
After they arrived, we headed over to the live nativity at St. Lukes.
This a a yearly tradition and we all enjoy it.
After watching the 20 minute play which is outside and includes live animals and wonderful Christmas carols, we headed into the school for hot chocolate, cookies and some fun kid activities.
Tiz really enjoyed playing dreidle so I ordered her one for Christmas.
We finished up with dinner at Culver's and then some TV watching.

On Saturday, we stayed in our PJ's until 3:30 while we worked on graham cracker creations.
This year, I found a recipe on Pinterest for some cement frosting which really held the crackers together and eliminated a lot of frustration.
We also made ornaments.
By 4:00 we headed out to Candy Cane Lane to see the pretty lights, followed by pizza at Marty's, and then on to the lights at Country Springs which has become another annual event.
The highlight of these lights was that Soliana did the driving on John's lap and Tizita rode with her head out of our sunroof.
Lots of fun doing that.
After the drive through the lights, we go to watch the model trains and have hot chocolate and cookies.
We always sing to the CD, "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer,"  This year we sang it in parts which was so much fun.

Today it snowed for the first time.
After church, Soli and Gigi played school, Tiz and I played cards, and John watched the Packers win.
We took them home after the game.

We made many happy memories this weekend.

Here are a few photos from the fun:











Until next time.
