A couple things that the Carbieners do each Christmas:
1- Watch the cartoon "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
2- Read the Christmas Story out of Luke 2 and put each piece back into the nativity as we read the story.
3- Read the Polar Express
As many of you know, there's only one grandkid in this family, and she's almost 3, so we were all a little excited to see how she would be this Christmas. As we read the Christmas story about the angel, my mom explained that the angel told the shepherds not to be afraid. Kaitlynn held the angel up and said, "Don't worry shepherds. Jesus is here. He won't hurt you. He loves you so much." It was so cute.
My Nana and Grandpa live in Idaho Falls, but are staying near my parents for a few months so my mom can help them out. My Nana is getting kind of old and doesn't think quite as quick as she used to. She used to read aloud to schools and kids and still has the best reading voice ever. One of the most special things this Christmas was listening to Nana read aloud the Polar Express. It was the most magical part of Christmas this year.
