Christmas Card Pics

Here are the grandparent's Christmas Card pictures.  Thought I better post them so I have them in one spot on the blog when I want to print them later!  :-)  Cute kids!!!!

Sunday School Christmas Program

The kids were so much fun to watch at their Sunday School Christmas Program.  Little E was Joesph and he said his line perfectly!  Check out the video below.

 Here he is with Mary before the program!

And a picture with his sister.  Miss E had a trio for the third verse of "Away in a Manger."  She Rocked it!  

That's one cute little sheep and sweet little angel!

Getting ready to sing!

Gingerbread Houses

The kids had fun making almond bark pretzels and then decorating gingerbread houses!

The Nutcracker

Miss E's music teacher has been telling the story of the Nutcracker during music class.  Miss E came home telling us all about it and begged for us to take her to the ballet!  After hours of begging and crying, we gave in and took her.  She LOVED it!  Made it worth taking her, watching her face light up throughout the performance!  We certainly are lucky to have such a great music teacher that is instilling the love of music within our children!!!

It's that time again. . .

We are getting ready for our third JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.  Check out our site and donate if you can!  :-)

THANKS!!

Annie

Daddy's students were putting on the play "Annie" so he got tickets for Auntie Christine, Grandma, and the three big kids to go.  They said it was fantastic!!!

School Christmas Program

 Miss E had her school Christmas program tonight.  She did a GREAT job!

Here she is waving at Baby A who kept calling out her name before the program started.  ;-)

Harlem Globetrotters

 The Harlem Globetrotters were in town this weekend and some of their team was unable to fly in, so Daddy was asked by one of the coordinators to play last minute.

Decorating the Tree

After everyone changed into their new PJ's it was time to set up and decorate the Christmas tree!

Don't know how many more years Daddy is going to be able to lift everyone up for their turn at putting the angel up on the tree!  The kids are getting pretty heavy!!!

Last came Little E's train that he has been waiting all year for us to set back up.

After everything was set up, it was time for some hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Elf on the Shelf

The elf came back and like always brought the kids a new pair of Christmas PJ's.  This year he also brought the kids robes, which they LOVE!!!  Let the Christmas fun begin!  

Thanksgiving Part 2

We had a wonderful thanksgiving with Mommy's side!  SO much to be thankful for as Uncle Chris is back to work and doing good!  Praise the Lord.

Isn't she a honey?!?!? . . . the only one we got a picture of since no one else would hold still long enough!!

Saying prayers before we eat.  The food was YUMMY. . . as always!!!

Thanksgiving Day

After our thanksgiving lunch we went on a Turkey Hunt with the cousins.  

Then Auntie Christine brought stuff to make and decorate cookies.

Even with four adults surrounded this little one, no one noticed she opened up the sprinkles for after the cookies have been baked and poured out the whole bottle onto her dough.  She was pretty proud of her self too.  That's what we get for putting in arms reach!

What a great day surrounded by family!!!
