On the eleventh day of Christmas...

we made sugar cookies for Santa and us.




The girls had decorating the cookies and picking out a special cookie or two for Santa.

After that we did our annual telling of the Christmas story. Last year Andrew used our Fisher Price Little People Nativity set to help tell the story of the birth of our Savior. This year he read the story and let the girls act it out, Elanor with the little people


and Sophie used paper dolls that Aunt Beckie made for her (El has a set too, they were just scattered around from being played with). Sophie really got into the telling of the story (she knew that it started with an angel coming to Mary thanks to a board book we have from Grandma and Grandpa B) and would repeat what Andrew said.
I took a short video of her repeating and using her paper dolls.
