Christmas Morning

Cookies for Santa

AND.....Santa left a letter for Henry and Lucy!

Henry was VERY GOOD this year!

Lucy was VERY GOOD TOO!!!

Merry Christmas!

Lila and Jim stayed with us this Christmas Eve....when it was time to check out what Santa brought Lucy got way in the far corner of the top bunk!!! She wanted nothing to do with Santa.

I think she thought he was in the living room. Here is Lila trying to talk her down!!!

She quickly realized she liked Santa...especially since he wasn't in our living room!

Henry's new Razor RipRider! So fun.

I can eve ride it!

Lucy got a PINK scooter!

Santa needs to be more careful....his reindeer left some bells in our yard.....right where we left the reindeer food. I guess they got so busy eating our reindeer food they dropped some of their bells! Henry found them in our front yard!!

First School Christmas Program

Lucy's class (2 year olds) sang a few Christmas Songs!
Lucy was REALLY into it!

Then the rest of the school did a few songs....there is Henry OR King Herod!

That crown makes him easy to spot!

The 4 year old class and the Kindergarten Class performed the Christmas Story.

They did GREAT!

Here comes King Herod!

The Wise Men and King "Henry" Herod

Great Job HENRY!!!

LIGHTS OF THE OZARKS

One of the most fun things about Christmas in Fayetteville is the LIGHTS OF THE OZARKS on the Fayetteville square. It is amazing how many lights they put up...you can drive through and roll down the windows and hear Christmas music playing.

We went several times to walk around, ride the ponies, you can ride camels (but we didn't!), feed the reindeer, visit with Santa, eat cotton candy, etc!!

It is so fun!!

One weekend we went to the Botanical Gardens to see their Christmas Train display.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus was there---which of course Lucy wanted nothing to do with!!
