It's Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Christmas

I love getting ready for the most wonderful time of year!

While our house is not *quite* decorated yet, we had some fun preparations last week!

Monday night, St. Nick visited our house to fill our stockings. While I'm not sure that Cade really understands this German tradition, I do know that he loves getting a few presents and candy before Christmas!



Tuesday of last week was the Christmas program at Cade's school. This is one of our highlights of parenting... two groups of shamelessly cute children singing Christmas carols at our church with hundreds of parents and grandparents falling all over themselves to take pictures and videos. It was precious! Cade's class sang Away in a Manger, Silent Night, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. We think Cade did a fabulous job... we couldn't actually hear him singing, but his rehearsal in the car was pretty cute.

First, the kids processed in. Doesn't Cade look handsome?!



Then, they sang!



The teachers tried to get the kids to sit still for pictures after the program was over. It was pretty much a lost cause since they knew cookies were waiting in the lobby!



Oma stayed at our house the next day to keep Cade. They put up the little tree in his room!
