On Sunday we had Kyson's family party at Neema's and Papa's. He was a lucky boy and got to celebrate his birthday three days in a row! Waiting in the "chair of honor".
He wanted a peppermint ice cream cake. So I made one with Oreo crust and hot fudge to go on top. Mmmmm it was good.
After presents Neema and Papa gave us one of our Christmas presents. Growing up at the beginning of December my parents would read us a story about a family who had a manager. To help remember the true meaning of Christmas they would try and fill the manager up with hay by Christmas Eve for baby Jesus. Every week you draw names and every time you do a nice deed for that person you get to put a piece of straw in the manager. We loved this tradition. So my Mom made each of us our own manger and gave us a copy of the story which is now actually a book. We read the story to the kids and now it will be one of our Christmas traditions. I am so excited thanks Mom and Dad.
How cute is that!
