For the first time in our marriage, we celebrated Christmas at home. Hannah still had a fever and was rather miserable; it's always more comfortable to be sick at home.We ended up having a lovely, full day.
On Christmas Eve, Abigail helped me roll out homemade cinnamon rolls. She particularly liked eating the sugar mixture remnants on the table. There's nothing like a hot, gooey, homemade cinnamon roll to start the day!
Here is Daddy reading the Christmas story to his girls. They love listening to Bible stories, and I'm so thankful that Hannah's attention span is lengthening.
The girls were very excited to open their stockings.
And presents.
Abigail helped everyone open their gifts :)
Abigail got to use her new watercolors and stickers to make some thank you cards and a Christmas card for her cousin. They got to play with several of their new gifts, and we also watched a Veggie Tales Christmas movie as a family - a perfect "sick" activity. Popcorn is a special treat, as is candy, and the girls got to enjoy both.
After long naps, Abigail and I made a cake and cupcakes. Abigail cracked the eggs and helped to hold the hand mixer. Here she is helping Rodney decorate the Birthday Cake for Jesus.
Hannah was less than thrilled...particularly when she was done eating her cupcake...poor sick baby girl...
the cupcakes and cake (with lots of sprinkles dumped right in the middle!!! Singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and making him a cake will become a family tradition.
