The Lilly Pad: Christmas 2008

I am so behind....Where does time go? Anyways, we had such a blessed Christmas! Rhett was alot more into the holidays this year and I loved it! We started some new traditions and Rhett was all into those. For our Advent calendar, we read about a different Bible story every night for each day in Dec. leading up to Christmas and then Rhett would get some sort of treat to go along with it. It didn't take him long AT ALL to realize that Advent=Treats...So needless to say, he reminded you every night about "Ahment" as he called it! LOL! We also did a book called "What God Wants For Christmas" and it was alot of fun too! It really helped Rhett learn the names of all the characters in the Nativity story and it really brings the story down to a toddler level...I recommend it to anybody with young children. Here's Rhett setting a up some of the characters before we read our story one night:

Rhett also made a Countdown to Jesus's birthday craft at school that was fun! He was so excited about tearing off one every night:

We had breakfast with Santa...That didn't go so well: (LOL!)

We made yummy Christmas cookies:

Family Pic @ Memaw D's:

Cool, a remote control Hummer...Can't you just see the excitement on his face?

Just not sure who like it more, Rhett or Daddy!LOL!

Happy Birthday Jesus! Please excuse the outfit!LOL!

Christmas at Memaw O's:
Rhett loves the bugs that Mimi got him for Christmas...He named them Hopper and Bee! He especially like it when you put them on his head so he can slap them off!

Cookies for Santa...We hear that Oreos are one of his favorites!

He loves his new "bike" from Grammy and Papa!

Matching PJs on Christmas Morning...Please excuse the "No Makeup" look and the PJs with boots!LOL! That seems to be a trend around here lately! :)

Look what Santa brought! We call it a playset...Rhett calls it his "building"!LOL! Whatever you call it, Rhett loves it! His favorites are the swing and the ramp...More specifically walking up the ramp and throwing things down his slide!
