Christmas Program

The ever-present annual School Christmas Program was last week... This year the school decided to be smart and split the school into 2 groups and have 2 programs so that the parents and kids of the whole school don't have to cram into a small space! Hooray! However, for some of us, we had 2 kids and were supposed to be there for both productions... ug. Right idea though!

When Chris got dressed, he found this shirt, put it on and said, "Look, mom! I am Grandpa's boy! He likes plaid, right?" Sooooo stinkin' cute! Of course, Jake followed suit and found his own "Grandpa-ish" shirt to wear.

And after the program there is always the crazy on-the-stage-being-silly picture!
They both did a great job singing and doing the motions to their songs... I am still hearing them days later!

Merry Christmas!

Finally, we aren't waiting till the last minute to get a tree, get it decorated & looking pretty! We did wait for Isaac to be napping/asleep, which made it a little easier to put everything on the tree... but I do feel a little bit guilty about that!

Chris and Jake had fun pulling out old ornaments and remembering them...

... and Isaac had fun in the morning checking it out and exploring "with his eyes not his fingers"!!! ;)

Another Snowy Year?

I hate to admit it, but I think that we might be in for another snowy December! Here I am sitting in front of the computer at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and it is 27 degrees outside! HELLO!?!?! Yes, it is December, but 27 degrees??? And, to make matters even worse, it is extremely windy, supposedly a wind-chill down to 12-18 degrees! Oh. Dear.

Needless to say I am determined to do whatever I can NOT to get stuck in my house for 10+ days, without leaving, with 3 rambunctious boys!

Belated Birthday...

Ok. So I am a slacker. My sister posted something about my son's birthday before me. That stinks! Belated or not... I HAD to put something to commemorate my youngest's 2nd birthday!

A lot has happened in the 2 years of this little boys life, good and bad. But throughout it all, he has been the light that makes us all smile and laugh.

Happy Birthday to my Isaac Joseph!!!

God has definately increased the laughter!!!
