Christmas Play






Each year we have a children's Christmas play at church; this year it was called Christmas Around the World . . . so the idea was to dress up as a child from any other country. At first Hope wanted to dress up like a Chinese girl (imagine that); then she decided she wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz:
"Mommy, what country is Dorothy from?"
"She's from Kansas. That's in America."
"Can I dress up like Dorothy?"
"No."
In the end she decided to go with being plain old Mary. Of course her good friend, Jack, made a dashing Joseph by her side. Love these kids!

Little Architect









Dinner tonight = 1 candy cane, 13 M&Ms, 2 mints, 2 bites of cheese pizza, more M&Ms when Mom wasn't looking, Skittles (lost count), 8 oz of icing, a handful of red sugar . . . that's gotta be good for her stomach!

We enjoyed another wonderful gingerbread house decorating party this year with our FCC friends. Love those kids!

Tis the Season . . .












. . . for fudge, opening presents with Laney,The Nutcracker and more! We have enjoyed our little traditions here in the Heinrichs home over the past 2 weeks. Hope saw her first performance of the Nutcracker in Myrtle Beach. She was enthralled! I had no idea she could sit still for 2 hours like that. :) On the way home she said, "Mommy, I hope the Sugar Plum Fairy comes into my dreams tonight."

She has her father's sweet tooth; you can see the two of them licking the fudge pot with a little too much joy! Hope got to make it with Mommy this year just like a big girl: stirring the hot pot and all. I love this time of year!
