I know its March but....

Ok I know its March but I have SERIOUSLY neglected this blog so ....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

This year we decided to start a new tradition for Christmas eve and have a "night in Bethlehem". It was great! I think it really helped the kids understand why we celebrate Christmas and helped them realise that Jesus was a real person. We ate pita bread and lamb chops and olives and I even got my kids to try dates and figs. We will definitely be doing this again next year.


Here are just some cute pics of the kids with their "big" toy from Santa. (Jackson is so small so Santa decided he really didn't need to have the elves spend any money on him this year. A stuffed animal was all he needed)

Adam's new pet Spike the Dinosaur. We have learned that we can't refer to him as merely Spike. He is Spike the Dinosaur

This is Smores. She was really hard for Santa to justify all the money it took to make her, but this was the only thing Whitney asked for. What can I say Santa is a sucker.
