CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
Natalyn and I started the day with making a birthday cake for Jesus. Natalyn really likes to cook and make special treats!
Later in the evening, we put icing on the cake. Natalyn lasted on the job for about 10 seconds because once she noticed all the yummy icing on the spatula she decided to treat herself to it. Bottom line: I finished icing the cake!
DELICIOUS!!
Here is Natalyn before we left to go to the Candle Light Service at our church. Don't you just love her red boots!! I DO!!!!
Natalyn dancing on the stage at church after the service. (the icing has kicked in!hahah)
Natalyn is getting ready to head to bed, she has left a cookie and some milk for Santa and carrots for the the reindeer.
A few days before Christmas, Natalyn watched a show on TV called "Prep & Landing", it is about two elf's whose job is to prep houses for Santa's entry. Natalyn asked me how Santa gets into our house, I told her that Santa comes through our fireplace, she looked at the fireplace, her eyes doubled in size and the color drained from her face. I immediately figured out that this freaked her out completely, so I tried to back track and tell her that Santa will probably just magically make the presents appear in our living room and never come in our house. She looked at me for awhile, I don't think she bought it!!

On Christmas Eve when I went to put Natalyn in her bed we were talking about this again. Natalyn asked where Jesus is? I told her He is in Heaven. She then asked when Jesus was going to come to our house? I tried to explain that he is always here in spirit. Natalyn's eyes bug out again and she says, like a ghost?! GEEZ!! Should I have to have these deep theological discussions with a 2 yr old?!
