More Christmas Happenings

We have had a really fun week celebrating Christmas. One morning we joined our new/dear friends from our church for gingerbread house building. This was a first for all of us actually. We glued graham crackers (with hot glue) onto empty half and half containers. We then used frosting as "glue" for the candies. It was a lot of fun. We had to keep Coleman from licking all of his glue off his house! He did a good job though.

Callie was mother Mary in her preschool, classroom skit. We then had a birthday party for Jesus and got to celebrate with other kids in her class.

On Wednesday night we went with our same friends from church, Aunt Laura, and Bebe to the "Behold the Lamb" concert. For those who don't know, that is Andrew Peterson. We were so impressed. The music was awesome, and the kids did great considering they were up until 10:30.

These next pictures are all from the Spalding Christmas party. This is a yearly party that Charlie's mother's side of the family has. Callie even had a little part in the reading/telling of the Christmas story. She memorized a couple of lines. We also got to visit with cousins, the ones in town but also cousins from Colorado. From left to right, Callie, Elizabeth, Riley, Reagan, and Annabel. Elizabeth and Annabel were visiting from Colorado.
