Christmas at the Molin's
Dec 2010, Mission Viejo, CA
The fact that Christmas is coming, is usually shown by all the christmas lights coming up some time after Thanks giving...
|
 |
|
we normally take our chances to get out hiking with the kids on our days off
|
|
You also have all the activities ending, here: Linn's Winter Dance Recital
|
and after a while, we accept that christmas is coming, and start doing those christmassy things, like the ginger bread house...
|
 |
|
..and the ginger bread cookies
|
..and last day before christmas, even the star gets up!
|
 |
|
and we are officially ready!
|
yey, Santa arrived this year too!!
|
 |
|
he even brought gifts all the way from the North Pole (=Sweden)
|
well well, what might that be...? Thank you Arla :-)
|
 |
|
and Christmas is saved ! Swedish chocolate, cheese, and even mom's home made christmas fudge - ahhhh
|
..and it seems christmas is saved for Hans as well: Lego !!
|
 |
|
The girls got scooters. lots of balance training..
|
with a lot of pride and scraped elbows...
|
 |
|
And since we don't have snow, we took the girls watching some houses where people were very "enthusiastic with christmas lights"
|
why not mix it all, santa, reindeers, nutcracker & ginger bread man, oh and of course the nativity scene. All in your drive way. (With a dancing snowman at your mail box)
|
 |
|
But this was the favorite: The tender baby Jesus covered in fake snow, surrounded by Joseph & Mary, the angels, and a HUGE inflated smiling Santa! There you go: Merry Christmas!!
