December arrived quickly at the Barnes home and we embraced it. The children dove into decorating "their" Christmas tree and had a great time. I try not to get involved. The fancy Christmas tree (as Langely called it) was also decorated with their help but they had to place the ornaments with a little direction from me :)
I finally convinced Parker to get a little trim and the Greenwood
cousins had their annual gift swap and cookie decorating party.
YUM!!
Parker as Mary in our church's Christmas Mass. There were quite a few Barnes in the program and they were all angels.
Since the Barnes girls can't agree on vanilla or chocolate, Jesus had a multi-flavored and decorated cake for his birthday!
And Santa brought the girls a doll house taller than Parker! Next year Santa might need to double check dimensions :)
A little girl and her baby doll out in the bitter cold. Brrr! The Barnes Clan had one more chance to visit with Santa at the Club.
More s'mores by fireside
Otis and his crazy antics left us with a sweet goodbye note
Just a regular car ride home from dining out.....never a dull moment!
"Iceless" ice skating came to Greenwood and was a big hit even though the temperatures were freezing! Bennett had a hard time staying on his feet but Parker, Langley and Cathy were more cautious.
Langley and I after her Christmas program at her preschool. Langley enjoyed her classroom party.
Just a random day of playing during Christmas break. Don't forget to check out Parker's outfit -- I'm sure that was just one of many during the day. Her sense of style never ceases to amaze me!
At Pillow Academy during the month of December, the kindergarten class treats the morning carpool to a live nativity and this year Bennett was Joseph. We were excited and he was too!
We hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas Season!
