Merry Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas we had! Not because of any presents that were received, but because we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What's more, we did so with family! The Parkers took a surprise trip all the way from Alabama and spent Christmas with us. After opening presents, The Parker Four headed to church for our annual Christmas service, and we spent the afternoon at a luncheon where we served and fellowshipped with our homeless brothers and sisters. What a blessing it was it was to serve others on Christmas, and what a blessing it is to teach our children by example the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas Eve 2014

 

Another Christmas has come and gone! Christmas is so much fun when you have young children in the house. Daddy P and I were excited just in anticipation of Ryan and Evan's excitement. This year they really get Christmas, and they were really into the idea of Santa. Even though we don't do the Santa thing, we played along with them. It would have been cruel not to! Our boys know who Jesus is, and they understand the real meaning of Christmas, so why not have a little fun and get swept up in the magic?  We got dressed in our new pjs, and I made cookies for Santa. The boys decorated them all by themselves! There was lots of icing. LOTS of icing!  We even put out reindeer food!

Once The Peas finally went to sleep it was time for us to get to work. Poor Daddy P...he spent hours assembling things for the boys. I had lots of wrapping to do, but I was over it by the time I made it to those Gap boxes.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles were the star of the show as you can tell! Do you know how hard it is to find all the TNMT action figures times two?! Let's just say I'm glad I started shopping early and I will never get rid of my Amazon Prime membership!

Merry Christmas from The Parker Four!

SAA Fun

We've been so busy with school and church events over the past few weeks. Ryan and Evan's class gave an awesome  performance at their school's annual Christmas Concert. We were so proud! 

Last week was Kindergarten Craft Hour, and it was hands-down the best hour of my day. I had a great time volunteering and helping out with the craft stations. We were busy crafting that I didn't even take any pictures. We made some pretty neat crafts...we even made reindeer food! My loves were so happy to have me there too😍

Five Days 'till Christmas

The Parker Four are getting into the Christmas spirit! Today we went to a show at The Bijou Theater and it was so much fun. Afterwards all the kids got a chance to see Santa. It was questionable right up until the last minute whether or not Ryan would meet St. Nick, but he decided to give it a shot. He wouldn't sit on his lap, but at least he stood there! It was a great day😃
