Christmas prep
The Christmas season brought much activity to our house.
The first weekend of December brought the Fisher holiday parade. Andrew and Jeremiah were on the 4-H float. Levi napped through it, riding in the truck pulling the float.
Jeremiah visiting the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry on a class field trip. Their main purpose was learning about holidays around the world. The whole third grade class participates in a special project to study holiday traditions. Later in the month, Jeremiah presented with his group about Christmas in Germany. Mom attended the presentation and Dad helped to build a gingerbread house. The day of the field trip was extra exciting at our house, when the neighbors had to drop Leona at our house so they could welcome a new daughter, Lenora.
Andrew and Jeremiah's holiday program at school quickly followed. Andrew sported mittens and a hat for his songs and Jeremiah's class did a little dancing. It's hard to believe Jeremiah only has one more elementary school program remaining.
Grandma and Grandpa Schnitzler visited the following weekend. They helped the boys cut out sugar cookies. We joined Sophia for dinner and then took a drive to look at Christmas lights, including one house set to music in Monticello. They were also with us for Andrew and Jeremiah's church program. Jeremiah was a kid speaking about the not-so-perfect meaning of Christmas. He memorized his lines, which we were so proud of. Andrew was a wiseman and also did a great job.
A few days later, Daddy spe
nt the morning with Andrew class during their classroom party. J&A wrapped up school for the year with a trip to the movies on Dec. 18. That was also the same day as Levi's program. His daycare told the story of Jesus' birth. He is still singing (and telling about during church children's sermon) Mary had a Baby Boy (although thanks to a mommy trick, Mary nearly had a purple cat) and Away in the Manger.
With all these activities, we were well in the holiday spirit. We met Santa before heading out to wrap up some shopping. With a little Christmas music, we looked forward to celebrating.
