Tis' the Season

Since coming home from New York we have been in the full spirit of the Christmas season.
I have to say how great my husband is, he made 4 dozen Christmas cookies for the teachers at the kids school because I signed up to do them and then was gone.

 Makayla had her Amarillo Youth Choir Songs of the Season concert.
 James and I went to our Sunday school class Christmas party. Our teacher challenged us to make a cross to exchange with someone that would represent us.
It was challenging for sure but I think ours turned out amazing. 

We randomly drew names for exchanging.





 Roland and Dawn watched the kids for us that night and when we got home they had made these Christmas treats with the kids.
 That weekend we had our first snow of the year.
 James Henry and Makayla were in their school choir Christmas play. It was so cute and they did great.

 Makayla had several speaking parts and a solo!!
 Stephanie made their costumes and I am so thankful. They turned out amazing.
 The Christmas tree in downtown Amarillo was beautiful this year.
 On the last day before Christmas break the kids had all their parties at school.


 James Henry, his teacher and her daughter in their pajamas at the party.
 Chris' class playing games.
 Makayla and her friend Rachel.

 David thought he was something big out there running with James Henry and the other kids.

 Chris' friend got him an awesome Dr Who shirt.
He bought her a snow globe which he paid for himself and checked out alone!!


 We took a family trip to the Botanical Gardens to see the lights.







 We made candy bark.

 And for the first time we made Ninja bread cookies!


 The kids hunted the green pickle ornament to decide who would get to open a present on Christmas Eve.
 Makayla found it first.
 We went caroling and light looking with our church.  James drove one of the buses.





 We loved caroling for all of our homebound members.
