Video of the Kids Singing in Their Christmas Program

I got a new digital camera on black Friday that takes hd video, and could not figure out how to upload such a big file. After 80 minute of uploading on you tube (private setting), it is finally up. Wow, does anyone else have any other suggestions? Enjoy!

Christmas Pictures 2010

We had these pictures taken at Portrait Innovations in Spartanburg that just opened. It is very challenging to get an energetic four year old and two year old to look at the camera at the same time!

Christmas is definitely my favorite time of year. This year I am very thankful for Jackson's wonderful mission friend teacher and Sunday School teachers. Christmas can be very confusing time for a Preschooler. I think at the beginning of the season Jackson actually thought that Christmas was Santa's birthday, not Jesus' birthday. Santa gets the kids one or two gifts, but we give them the big gift (trying not to make a big deal out of Santa). We definitely do not tell that Santa is watching him. Lastly, we try not to get them more than three presents each (representing the three Wiseman gifts)

Do you have any other suggestions on keeping Jesus the focus of Christmas for a Preschooler?

(I plan on getting the Little People's Manger Scene for next year).

This is probably be one of my Christmas presents for someone (all our photos are on Kodak Galleries). I am already thinking about buying some Christmas presents now because in December I always get in trouble by overspending. Now, that Abigail knows what is going on at all times, I know I am going to want to buy her a good bit for Christmas (three presents).

What are your tips on not overspending for Christmas?
