We had a great Christmas as our new, larger family. Christmas Eve, all four of us headed to church. Melanie couldn't quite figure out if she wanted to go to the front to sing carols with the rest of the kids, sit through the service, or leave and come back a few times.... Joey got a prize for being dressed like Santa Claus (Mel was excited by the prize - a candy cane for her!) We hadn't decorated at all, or even hung stockings, prior to Christmas Eve. That evening, we baked cupcakes for Jesus' birthday, and we left one out, with a glass of milk "to wash it down," for Santa. Melanie was thrilled to find out the next morning that Santa had eaten the cupcake, she was even more excited to find out that he came and left while she was sleeping and she didn't have to see him. He also did some decorating while he was here, and left the living room looking a little more festive than before. Melanie was very excited to identify all of the characters in the manger scene that Santa apparently put up. As Poppy observed, "I didn't realize there were this many people at the birth of Jesus." Thank you G&G Worzala for the nativity scene :) Pictures above are of my two elves helping make Jesus' birthday cupcakes
