I love christmas eve! I think in some ways it's more of a fun day than christmas is. It's magical and fun, and as an adult usually there isn't too much work to be done--at least hopefully there's not a lot of shopping or whatever left on christmas eve!
Today Max and I have been taking it easy. Kris had to work, which was unfortunate--and he had a very full day. But luckily he finally got done, and we were able to finish the day off right, with a dinner out and new pajamas.
Anyway, today Max and I enjoyed some seriously good smells. I love my christmas candles.
We made some last minute goodies.
Mmmm, these are so good. It's lucky they're only allowed around at christmas time!
We enjoyed the fruits of our cookie labors the other day. So yummy.
We love christmas cookies.
Max really enjoyed jumping on the big bubble wrap that came in the package Kari sent us. It's lucky we live on the first floor.
I have to admit I enjoyed jumping on it myself.
Max got to enjoy the last treat from the advents calendar his Grandma Kathy made for him. He's really enjoyed that calendar, and it's so cute.
I like for him to be able to keep track of the days, and the calendar really helps.
He's so cute.
Finally I want to leave you tonight with Max's song--Away in a Manger. He was supposed to sing it in sacrament meeting on sunday with me on the guitar, but we had a snow day. We're supposed to do it this coming sunday. We'll see. He refuses to do it for friends and family, but swears he'll be able to do it in sacrament meeting. We'll see I guess.
But this video is cute. Ignore my bad guitar though, it's very shaky!
And don't let all Max's spinning and constant motion make you seasick--OH, and ignore my bum which fills the whole screen at one point.
And merry christmas!

And your bum was where? I saw it not. GREAT SONG!!! I loved Max's vibrato. The day looks so fun. You're such a great mom. He'll never forget these days with you = yeah, he has to clean his room, but look at this mom who bakes with him and sings with him and jumps on bubble wrap with him (I wanna jump!!!).
You are my darlin'!

Your guitar sounds fine, and max sounds strong and resolute. Tell him he does a fine job.
Merry Christmas

Oh my goodness. No boy alive is luckier. Your singing together is just precious.
I'm thinking reading your blog isn't good for me. Makes me feel like a lousy mom. :o)
Merry Christmas!!!
Oh my gosh, that was the cutest thing I've ever seen! You both have a beautiful voice.
Parker, Kc and grandpa and I all got to watch this video. It makes you cry it is so sweet. I sure wish we could be at church to hear you. You both sound great and I liked Max's vibrato too. I love the end... the last word all was so cute. Thanks for posting and thanks to MAx for singing it for us all. You are both very blessed. So are we to be a part of you. Love you
Merry Christmas! This was the perfect way to end the day! Your cookies look amazing...and I must say my favorite part of the video was right before Max starts singing when he whipes his brow...or flings back his hair...either way he is amazing. You guys are amazing. Enjoy the snow!!
It looks like you had a great Christmas Eve, can't wait to hear about Christmas. I hope it was wonderful!
cute! I love the head whipping action during the Asleep part and the vibrato is awesome.
I didn't even know that song had two verses.
