Day 4, 5, and 6 of Christmas

On the fourth day of Christmas

we went to our ward Christmas Party!

When we got there during the prayer my leg began to feel damp. I whispered to Scott that Lincoln was peeing on me and Scott began laughing.I honestly was in shock and had the urge to toss my child to the floor, but instead I sat there miserably soaking up pee. I swear the man praying was purposely grateful for everything and everyone in the world. By the time the prayer ended,  my leg, the gym and Lincoln’s pants were completely drenched.  On the fifth day of Christmas we make snowflakes!

On the sixth day of Christmas:

We shatter 6 glass ornaments, bite the top off one glass ornament, break one snowman, destroy an entire Christmas village and lose baby Jesus. All while mom continually fixes the tree.

then we open a family present!

Lincoln got a Toy Story 3 puzzle and Scott and I worked on the United States puzzle.

gotta love family time…

As for Lincoln,

He is becoming a little bird. He says everything we say and has even begun calling his dad, “Scott”.

The other night he was climbing on Scott’s legs and flipped over and began falling head first. As his face smacked the ground he moaned,

“Awe Shit”

as terrible parents we both started laughing really hard. I have no idea where he learned that one from, maybe grandma?

The Third Day of Christmas

On the third day of Christmas we…………….

Decorate the Tree

  Christmas is never complete until the tree is up, even if that tree comes out of a box.

Lincoln LOVES to say prayers. We taught him to fold his arms when he went into nursery because he was the only one who didn’t do it. Now, he reminds us to pray. If I ever put food at the table for him, he folds his arms and waits for me to pray. I think today we prayed at least 6 times. After I read him his bed time story, he sits down and folds his arms. We say family prayer and then he climbs on his crib to go to bed. Sometimes I wonder where I got him? Weird Child!

 

  The Tree is Complete!

Second Day of Christmas

On the second day of Christmas we decorate the house.

Lincoln was counter productive. He kept putting things back away in the boxes. He then took out all the tops of my balls and put them away. He was being so gentle and good, that I let him do it anyways.

First Day of Christmas and Traditions!

I am completely against doing anything for Christmas until December first. My main reason is I love the anticipation of waiting to do stuff. We do the 25 days of Christmas! We did last year and it’s a tradition we want to continue with our Lincoln.

For the first day we make a countdown Christmas Garland. On each chain is what we are going to do for everyday of December.

Lincoln was a big slobbery helper. He knows just how to make the paper wet and gross so mom doesn’t want to touch it.

It’s hanging from the ceiling! We made an extra chain just for fun. I’m so excited for everything we get to do! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Traditions!

Another tradition we do every day before Christmas to help us remember the true meaning of Christmas is read both a Christmas story and a story of Christ’s life from the Bible.

Tonight we read “Curious George’s Christmas”

and we read Matthew Chapter 9: 1-9
