Getting ready for Christmas

We had a fun visit from Grandma and Grandpa A. (and Uncle Jeff and Aunt Amy) last Saturday. Santa arrived a few days early and brought the kids some really fun and cute presents. It was a small glimpse of how crazy Christmas morning will be around here!

Today, Jacob, Jon and I decorated some Christmas cookies. Jacob really enjoyed putting 10 M&M's on each cookie and about 100 sprinkles! Tonight we are going to load everyone up in the 'ole minivan and go check out some lights around town. Then tomorrow (Christmas Eve) we are having Grandma Lynnie and Papa Tommy over for our traditional Sugo pasta dinner. Mom and I will be taking the kids to church for our Christmas program, but unfortunately Jon has to work until Costco closes, so he'll miss out this year.... bummer! :o( But he'll be home in time dinner and our yearly watching of "A Christmas Story" while we finish wrapping presents and filling the kids stockings.

Guess which ones I did, mommy??

We hope this Christmas finds everyone filled with love, hope, joy and peace! Merry Christmas!!

Love - Jon, Lisa, Jacob, Megan, Ryan and Dylan
