The Christmas holiday this year was busy but casual...just like we like it!! No fancy foods or formal parties. Just good friends/family and great food!! We loved it. Between all the crazy running around (shopping, teaching preschool, decorating and then undecorating) we were able to go see Christmas lights at Bellevue Botanical Gardens with some friends. The lights were lots of fun and the company was great!!
Later, NayNay made his rendition of the Nativity scene. There's baby Jesus in the manger, Mary and Joseph standing next to him, the shepherds behind Jesus (the small short ones), and the three wise men off to the side. He made this all by himself, we just came in and found it!
Due to how casual Christmas was this year, we have no visual documentation to prove that it happened. Just credit card statements!
When all was said and done, the scouts did their annual collection of Christmas trees fundraiser. Lucky for NayNay, Curtice was involved so he got to go see what happens to all those collected trees!
It was VERY warm and the ash falling out of the sky looked like snow. It was lots of fun! It was a great way to end a good year!!
