Light the World Starts

Updates on Clifton -
Isn't sure about Santa, most the time he says he doesn't exist and then other times he says wait, is he real?

Either way he wrote a great letter to Santa.

Updates on McKay -
Decided se wants to do a cupcake war theme for her birthday party and is so excited.  I just love her excitement and happiness.

Updates on Stanley -
Begs for extra kisses and hugs before going to bed.  I know it's to stay up later, but that boy knows I can't say no to hugs and kisses.  Sometimes I wish he would never grow up!

For FHE we decorated gingerbread houses.

Success.  Only one fell over and that was because Stanley tried to take a bite of the house :)

After FHE I headed to soccer.  We put together a women league, Soccer Mom's and I love that my Monday nights end this way.

Great group of ladies!

Tuesday Basketball season started for Clifton.

Wonderful group of boys on his team and great coaches.  It's going to be a great season!

Wednesday late start fun.

Playing in "snow" (shaving cream) and making snowflakes.

Thursday I got our Light the World count down up and we are all very excited to get started.

Friday was the first day and we made cards and left treats for the mail lady.

That night was Sunnyslope's movie night plus we were adding pictures with Santa and cookie decorating.

I love seeing people come together and donate their time and talents for the school.

 Yum!

We watched Polar Express and I made this cute little train just cause I got into the spirit ;) A fun night at the school!

Saturday's light the world was in our home.  We made cute love notes to decorate each others doors with.

Then we headed to Alex's work kids Christmas party.

Santa was there too and Stanley ran right up to him. "Where's my presents?"  Santa must not of heard him because he asked Stanley if he wanted a hug.  Stanley said "Nope, just presents."  Haha silly boy.

Stanley was pretty happy when Santa did have a present for him!

It was a fun afternoon of eating yummy food and doing crafts.

After dinner we headed down town to enjoy the festivities.

Hayride through the town.

Walking the bay and looking at fun boat Christmas lights.

And a stop at the Candy Store.  Love our cute town!

Sunday after church we headed to a Nativity event in Tacoma.

Always a great event.

Then we came home and made cookies for our light the world event.

 We tried shortbread out and it turned out yummy.

To the neighbors we go.
