One of our Christmas traditions is attending the MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) pancake breakfast at our church. Somehow the pancakes always taste so good (I think it's because I don't have to cook them or wash the dishes, etc.).
Sky is really into making picture frames this year.
Then we go, as a family, around to different centers that have a Christmas theme. The kids got Christmas tattoes. And everyone brought a set of kid pajamas to wrap and give to a crisis pregnancy center.
Below Lila is seaching for the baby Jesus (a foam sticker) in this bin of rice. Later I noticed a new group of kids searching for Jesus and unable to find Him. Then I noticed that Lila had stuck Him on her sleeper and was walking around with Him.
Lila is deinitely going through her two year old growing pains (I'm trying to avoid saying "terrible twos" but that's totally what it is). She's been in trouble at church (for not listening) the past few times we've been there. I'm hoping this stage is short-lived!
Brad enjoyed making Christmas shapes with play doh.
There was a brief performance of some songs that they are learning in church.
It was a super fun morning and it has definitely become one of our family's Christmas traditions.

Chuckling over here about Lila and baby Jesus!!! That is sooooo funny!!! :o) Love the idea of donating pjs. Was shocked to learn once how many kids in USA dont own pj's! We truly are a blessed family. Love the bed-head looks! Pics make us want to hug ya and join ya in the fun. Hang in there with Lila.She will be three and there will only be glimpses of these two yr old days. Thats how it is with Nat, anyways. :o) Thanks, Lila, for the great chuckle this morning! Note to coordinators: put more baby Jesus' in the bin next year. ;o)
We sure love our California family! Looks like there was something for everyone in your adventure. (Including some mystery provided by Lila!) We're so glad you have found a wonderful Christmas tradition to look back on for years to come. Sending lots of Christmas love your way!!!
