We started off the Christmas season with a movie on the roof complete with hot chocolate and popcorn. We watched "Home Alone" which was simply perfect for three boys aged 6-9. They cracked up watching Kevin destroy the robbers.
We also made Christmas cookies and gave some out to our neighbors. The boys actually stuck with it for a good while which really made me happy. I hate trying to get them to do something crafty and they give up after a couple minutes.
Our Christmas morning (we always celebrate it on the 24th). Note the tree topper- an airplane. Every year I forget I need a star for the top.

Most of the boys' presents were on the sea container that hadn't arrived. Thankfully, Memere had sent a gift which was a huge hit.
All dressed up pretty for Christmas with Daddy.
Christmas day complete with a bike ride before the meal.
We had friends from Koutiala come and join us for a few days. It was so much fun to have them here. A wonderful time was had by all. Paula, in the middle, made a delicious meal complete with a turkey! It was so special to be with friends. We had a relaxing, edifying, and overall uplifting time with them.
Kenan can take down turkey legs like he takes down chicken legs. :)
I love new traditions as you settle into your new home.
