Christmas Program

This afternoon we enjoyed Lillian's Christmas Eve program at our church. Can you believe it is now currently snowing in Texas? WOW! Before we left for the program, we opened one present. This is our family tradition for the Martin clan. The girls get to pick one gift to open. So, this year, Lillian chose to open her gift from her sister. So, Lydia opened her present from Lillian. Too sweet! Lydia got a singing cow from her sister and Lillian got a hair coloring set. Both girls loved their gifts!

Then, we headed outside to put out the reindeer food on the lawn for Santa's reindeer. It contains magical glitter and helps the reindeer find our house at night. The wind was blowing so hard and is has dropped from 71 degrees yesterday to 34 degrees and now blowing snow. WOW!! But, the reindeer now know where to go tonight! Poor Lillian was freezing and couldn't put out the food fast enough... I had to finish for her!

We left for the program at church. It was really cute and Lillian was an angel this year. It is a unrehearsed reenactment of the birth of Jesus. The kiddos marched in and we sang some Christmas songs too. It was a short program and only lasted 20 minutes, but it was adorable. Lillian enjoyed herself and being an angel. She said she wanted to do it again next year!

So, all that is left is putting out milk, cookies and carrots, reading Twas the Night Before Christmas and putting out all the presents from Santa! I hope Santa comes here first! Good night all and Merry Christmas!

Love,
