Keisel Family Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. Christmas Eve we had dinner at Justin and Michelle's home and had a great time singing karaoke! Later that night we came over to our home and watched Christmas Vacation (a long time Keisel Family tradition) Jared and Leslie and the girls came by to visit as well. It was fun to have family in our home on Christmas eve. Later that night we opened our new pajamas and got ready for bed. Before going to bed the girls went out and sprinkled the "Magic Reindeer Dust" that Santa had sent them. It consists of of oats and glitter that you sprinkle on your lawn. The smell of the oats will guide the reindeer right to your house. The glitter will sparkle and shine in the moonlight to help Santa find a safe spot to land. As you sprinkle the magic dust you think about the very first Christmas. Oats were used to feed the animals that surrounded Baby Jesus in the manger and the sparkle of the glitter reminds us of the bright star that appeared in the heavens on that special, sacred night.

Christmas morning we waited and waited for our kids to get up. Addy finally got up at about 8:30am and went and woke up Gracie. There is nothing like the magic kids bring Christmas morning. It was so fun to watch our girls open their gifts from Santa and the appreciation they showed for them. Faith was a blast this year too. It was her first Christmas and I think she could get used to the idea of it all, except for sitting on Santa's lap.

Later that day we faced the roads and made our way out to Grantsville. It was so great to be able to spend Christmas Day with our families. We love you all very much and hope that you had a very Merry Christmas!

Addy's School Program

It has been a crazy month so I am just getting around to posting some of the happenings in December. Addy had her Kindergarten Christmas Program. The children sang Christmas songs and did a live nativity scene. Addy's teacher asked her to play Jingle Bells on the violin. It was her first Solo performance and she did a great job! (Especially since there were probably 75-100 people there) I have posted the video for you to enjoy! We are SO proud of you Addy! Keep up the hard work! (Be sure to pause my playlist on the right side of the screen before starting the video)

Christmas Dance Recitals

This year both Addy and Gracie took Dance from "Mrs. Pam" They worked really hard to perfect their moves before the big recital. Both Addy and Gracie did a great job! It took Gracie a minute to get warmed up, but by the time they got to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, she was cut'n up the stage. Look out Dancing with the Stars here comes the Keisel Sisters!!

Here comes Santa Claus......

Christmas Eve 2008

Happy Christmas Eve! Today we took the kids out and built snowmen. It has been a tradition of ours each year to build funny snowmen in our yard. After we finished we came inside and had a nice mug of Hot Chocolate with whipcream and dip toast....delicious! The kids are really wound up for Santa to come. We are a little bit excited too! Christmas is so much fun with kids. We love our girls so much. They bring so much joy to us and our home. Merry Christmas from our home to yours! May the TRUE Spirit of Christmas bless you today and always!
