Christmas activities

It has been so much fun to participate in all of the fun activities this year. We have a great neighborhood and we've been able to make some great memories.

Carson's kindergarten class got together with a 4th grade buddy and made gingerbread houses at the school. He had a great time and it was so cute to watch.

On Saturday we waited at the bus stop for Santa to drop by. Our volunteer fire department offers to help Santa make stops in the township so his reindeer don't have to work so hard. Nice huh? So they came by with Santa perched up on top and the firemen gave the boys each a big lolly pop from Santa. It was great! Then our friends Becky and Coleman invited us to lunch at the mall where we had a great visit. The boys rode on the cute little train inside the mall and had a fun time.

Here they come!

There's Santa up on top (I bet he was frozen)!

The boys have been begging to make the annual cookie trains, so tonight we went for it. Carson put the trains together while Connor filled them with candy. Tomorrow we will deliver them so hopefully they can last through the night without little fingers attacking them! :)

SNOW (again)!

I know, all of you snow veterans are probably laughing your heads off at us, but I just can't help but take a million pictures each time it snows. It is so beautiful!
This time it actually snowed enough to delay school, so we decided to bundle up and go play. The boys got out the sled (provided by great neighbors) and had a blast down our little hill. Carson had fun with the snowball maker and then started an igloo with the snow bricker. Then they even built a tiny little snowman before we headed in. Connor was "hundry" so we called it a morning and after 10 minutes of undressing all the winter stuff, we had lunch. Fun times!

So beautiful!


Look out, Connor!
