A local church in Lubbock had a really special night were you could come celebrate the real meaning of Christmas, which of course is Jesus coming down to earth as a tiny baby for each one of us. All this past month Cayden has made sure to remind us of that fact….”Momma, do you know what the best part about Christmas is?? It’s Jesus coming to save us!!!”
I really enjoyed this night we got to spend as a family. We have been trying to lessen the importance of Santa and celebrate Jesus’ birthday instead and this night really helped us to do that.
Avery’s favorite part was visiting Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus (which was a real baby…don’t get me started on how cold it was out there and how I was concerned the whole time about that tiny baby out in the cold!!) Seeing them was all Avery wanted to do, so we made several trips back to the stable to see “Eesus”.

They were supposed to be writing the Greek alphabet, but Cayden stuck with the alphabet he knows….Avery, well, she mainly enjoyed just dipping the stick in the ink. They did get to pick what color wax and stamp they wanted to seal it with which they enjoyed.
