December for the Thompsons

 Look at my cute little towns people:)

December was a joy for us.  It started out with the live nativity that our friend’s parents started years ago.  It’s more like a play to music.  No one has speaking parts, but you go on and off stage depending on the role you play.  We were towns people.  We went on and paid our taxes and sat in front of the inn.  Cooper and Kennedy were fascinated with the lights and the donkeys.  They kept saying “Yook! Yites!” (look! lights!) and “it’s a donkey.”  Maybe they’ll add those speaking parts to the nativity next yearJ

We had to put the presents under the tree away until the big day because the kids were having a hard time leaving them alone.  Kennedy tried to use one as a stool and fell off.  While I was consoling her I heard a ripping sound and then Cooper exclaimed “it’s a toy!!!”  He was so happy.  It broke my heart that we had to put it away. 

Christmas was awesome.  Kennedy was more fascinated with unwrapping presents than anything else.  Before she could even see what it was she was running back to the tree saying “again, again.”  Cooper got frustrated with the wrapping and didn’t mind when Kennedy helped.  It's all so much more fun with little ones.
