Candle Light Dinner

Another Christmas tradition at our house is a

COUNT DOWN TO CHRISTMAS CHAIN!!!

It's a simple red/green/white chain we hang from the doorway!

Each day I write something "Fun" to do that night as we count down to Christmas!  The kids take turns cutting off the chain and finding out what we will do that day!!

Things we've done so far... (that I can remember)

Read a Christmas book

Go for Frosty's

Read the Christmas story out of the bible

Shop for cousins gifts

Go to K-State basketball game

movie night
 help at Angel Tree party at church

Tonight we wrapped our gifts we bought for cousins/grandparents---it was a test of patience.   But, we did it!  The KIDS WRAPPED and had a GREAT TIME!

The other night we had a CANDLE LIGHT DINNER
This was a favorite from last year and a REQUEST to do again!!

Notice Jaden's camera on the table---he wanted to take pictures too!

The best part of a FANCY DINNER is the fancy cups and the TOASTS!
Toasts to EVERYONE....all around the table they walk....
to toast with each person!

Tyler gets to be in charge of the "wine"---Sparkling Apple Juice!
They LOVE the IDEA of the fancy drinks, but they do not LOVE the taste of it! 

A toast to our SWEET FAMILY! 
 A toast to the special memories we are making with our kids!
