Daddy's work Christmas Party

Each year we look forward to Preston's work Christmas party. He party is held at his CEO's home and they invite all of the families to attend. It is so nice that they include the children and have activities for them like a visit from Santa Clause. Gracie and Bailey were both just starting to get sick so they were not 100% into Santa. Santa gave them both a special present and he also gave them piece of chocolate which Bailey is still talking about. Every time we mention Santa now Bailey says "He gave me chocolate!"It has been fun this year watching twins celebrate Christmas. They love to rearrange the ornaments on the bottom of the tree and it doesn't bother me a bit. The Christmas tree really is for them to enjoy so why should it be off limits. We did have one instance where an ornament was broken "one of my favorite ones" but it was a perfect opportunity to talk about forgiveness and true reason for the season. Gracie loves playing with their Little People nativity set and she rearranges all the people on a daily basis. We are doing lots of Christmas art projects and the handmade ornaments that they have been bringing home from school are priceless. Both Gracie an Bailey can answer the questions of "where was baby Jesus born" and "why did God send us baby Jesus." I love seeing the magic of the season through their eye's and I can't wait to continue with the holiday fun.
