Christmas Activities

Thanksgiving was great! We had a long weekend to spend with family, and even snuck away for a date night for ourselves. Henry jumped from house to house and did wonderfully! I feel like I am moving right along to Christmas, but that is how its been. Thanksgiving has come and gone and now Christmas is in full force. I usually get into the Christmas spirit right away, but this year it has taken me awhile. After the Bluffton parade this weekend, decorating the house, and a day of crafts with Henry I feel more in the mood. This year I am definitely taking time to enjoy the "true" meaning of Christmas. I can't wait to share with Henry the best present of all- the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. Here are some pictures of the Jones family getting into the spirit of the holidays.


Finding a spot at the Bluffton Christmas Parade.

The cutest one at the parade.

Having fun after the parade. Some pirate put this necklace on him-he loved it!


Can't leave without seeing Santa.


Decorating...


Henry's first stocking. Thank you Aunt Leslie!


Arts and Crafts! Jeff always laughs when I tell him we're doing arts and crafts. I thought they turned out pretty cute! It's amazing what you can do when you put him in a high chair with a spoon and a handful of goldfish!
