I posted last year about my child's love of the nativity. I am so glad that she loves it, understands it, and can tell you all about it. We have numerous nativities in our home at Christmas. Addie has several of her own, and I have my Fontanini one. Thank goodness my mother thought to the future when she started this set for me, and got me one that is virtually unbreakable, because it was one of Addie's favorite "toys" this Christmas season. She would drag a dining room chair up to the buffet and play for a while. We tried to explain to her that it wasn't a toy - her daddy more than me - but I finally just gave in and reminded her to be gentle.
I caught her "playing" one day and had to get some pictures:
Guilty! And did NOT want her picture taken of getting caught!
Only a mommy could love that face!
Then I tried to get a picture of her cute little outfit - that I never thought I'd put her in, but I loved it and so did she!
Thanks for the shirt Mimi! (My mom, AK, and I all have matching ones - of course mine did not grace my body this year!)
Then, we put together her gifts for her classmates. I had seen on a blog, somewhere along the way, the "recipe" for snowman soup. It was a perfect gift for all of her sweet friends and AK loved putting them together. (And although I do not view snowmen as a Christmas icon, you can't be picky when it comes to preschool gifts!)
Snowman Soup:
1 pack of hot chocolate
A handful of kisses
A spoonful of marshmallows
1 mini candy cane
Cute poem bag topper that I can't find anywhere.
And lastly, my little stinker. It was a girl's night - daddy was out of town - and we had a blast. Finished up the night as we did almost every night from Thanksgiving to Christmas, watching a Christmas movie. Life is good!
(She adores this quilt. She calls it her "rubby blankie." The different animals were embroidered by Tommy's grandmother, my grandmotehr, and my mom, who also put the quilt together. I think I love it as much as she does!)
