Saturday Evening Church Service

Christmas Birthday Party for Jesus in Toddler Class

They decorated the little tree.

Here is Liliana staning on the table... leave it to the pk to break the rules.

After church the Groves (Chris, Bethany, Alley, and Juliet) all hopped into our van (Chris hopped into the driver's seat because of the snow/ice on the roads) and we headed out in search for some cool Christmas lights.

By the time we found some here is what things looked like in the van:

"I am so tired of driving around! Please get me home and to bed! - now!"

OUT!!! Like a 2 minutes before.......We arrived here! :o) Beautiful! This is only a glimpse and they were just in someones yard in S. Windsor.

Christmas Eve Service at CCC

A very, very proud moment for Mommy and Daddy Capps!!! Oh, my were we proud! :o) This is at the Christmas Eve service at church. They sang "Away in a manger" and did awesome! Liliana practiced and practiced. She was so proud of herself. (I have it all on video). They sang for both services!

Our beautiful singer in her special Christmas dress!

Christmas Day

2008

A very special and sweet day beginning on the Eve of Christmas. We did not put up a tree for a few reasons, just having moved being one of them. So, we put it up on Christmas Eve! Liliana and Noah helped decorate it....lights, three bows and one ornament (from my friend Bethany).

We enjoyed Donnie's famous scrambled eggs on tortillas with oj and coffee for breakfast after the kids opened one gift each. Then, Donnie read the story of Jesus' birth from the Toddler Bible and then we sang a few Christmas caroles (we love to sing together as a family!)

Then the kids opened their gifts! They got lots of little people stuff and an art easel, which they both LOVE, as you can see in the photos below. I was blessed the entire month of December with kitchen stuff, including a Kitchen Aid Mixer that I love!!!

Look at Noah's tongue as he draws... just like mommy! Oh, and check out how many pieces of chalk he has in one hand! Too cute!!!

Here they are coloring on the easel box with the markers they got. Boxes are the coolest toy!

My Handsome Little Guy!

Yes, the easel (I hope I am spelling that right) is also a play house - ha!

We went to Robb & Sarah Shull's later in the afternoon for an early Christmas Dinner. We had a great time! The kids played the whole time and did not fight once! It was fun seeing all the changes they made to the church condo that we used to live in. They did a great job!

Here are Liliana, Noah, Savannah, and McKinnzie(spelling?)
