December 2015 Part 2

12/16/15 Kyle running technology during the children's Wednesday night Bible class time :)
12/17/15 Christmas Party Day!!  They had a Grinchmas Christmas party that started out with wearing pajamas, bringing stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets, and having Donuts for breakfast!  He was excited to tell me he made a healthy choice by choosing water to go with his donuts :)  Silly boy!  Love him!  I wasn't actually able to hang out at the party because I needed to be in my classroom, but I know that they had lots of fun at the Grinchmas stations!!!
I went back to check in again later and they were about to start their movie.  They watched the Grinch!!
While I was down there, I took a pic of his artwork in the hallway!  Cute!!
Then I went back by during my conference :)
12/18/15 Jacen brought him Grinch home today, so I snapped a pic in my classroom before we left the building for Christmas break!!!

12/12/15 The Nutcracker and Christmas Lights

We went to see The Nutcracker by Ballet Lubbock.  We couldn't take pictures during the performance, but we got some before and after pics.  We had a lot of fun!  Jacen even got to meet some of the performers and take some fun pics with props :)

Then that evening, we loaded up in the car with our pajamas and hot chocolate to look at Christmas lights on a rainy day!
Stopped looking at lights set to music by our house!
Lights on Texas Tech campus!
Lights at Wayland Baptist University set to music!
Daddy got Jacen a Nutcracker as a souvenir, so I had him take a picture the next day in front of our Christmas tree!

12/5/15  We went to the cemetery to put out some Christmas decorations.  Jacen isn't interested right now in being sad about Nathan and the cemetery makes him sad, so he stayed in the car.  Kyle and I  put the decorations out, I read books, and we prayed.
