Sledding with snow

Let it Snow - We got some more snow...not a lot but enough for snow angels and some more sledding.  The boys loved getting on their snow gear so they could roll around in the snow.  Braden played so hard he was sweating (or maybe I had him dressed too warm!).

Hopefully we get more snow yet this year!!!

 

Snowman

Bucket snowman - The boys were out playing with Aaron and built this snowman with snow from the driveway. They used buckets and did a pretty good job. They were quite proud!!

Christmas with Uncle Brian

A fun day - Uncle Brian came over to celebrate Christmas with us.  He had to work Christmas day so we were unable to see him.  We had a fun day.  First we went sledding, then we watch a Christmas movie, followed by dinner and opening presents.  It was a lot of fun.  He can come over any time!!

Sledding

Snow drift - we arrived back to Lawrence from Ohio with very little snow.  There was a snow drift along our fence line so we attempted to go sledding.  It was fun for the boys and a lot of running for mom.  I would run down the hill pulling the boys.  Let's hope for more snow!!!

Christmas

Wilmes Family - we went over to see Papa and Grandma later Christmas day.  We had a nice meal together and opened up lots of presents.  It was a nice evening together.

Santa Claus

Visit from Santa - The boys were good as Santa made a stop at our house.  He brough lots of fun toys including a Leap Pad and Leapster, Games, Jake and the Neverland Pirates music CD, Scooby Doo movie, Transformer Rescue Bots and their Rescue Station plus some clothes.  It was a FUN morning!

Christmas Eve

Family Dinner - We enjoyed a ham and some side dishes this Christmas Eve.  The boys were very well behaved as we ate in the dinning room with some special holiday dishes.  It was a special evening.

Church and Cookies - We then went to Christmas Eve Mass followed by baking some cookies for Santa.  The boys were great helpers and the special ingredient this year were red and green M&M's.  Of course we did some taste testing and they were yummy!

 

Christmas Performance

Corpus Chrisit Christmas Performance - Preschooler's started the evening off with a few holiday songs.  Braden led his class and the entire school down the aisle and was very proud.  We had no idea...he did great!  It was a nice evening and way to start off the Holiday Season.

 

 

Santa Claus

Sitting on Santa's lap - We took the boys to see Santa Claus at Hallmark. They were so good and asked him for Transformer Rescue Bots. Zachary was not sure what to think! After Santa, we ate dinner at Crayola Cafe in Crown Center and then saw the lights. It was a good time and a special family holiday outing.
