It's Christmas Eve

And my kids are in the freezing pool. Not MY idea. I'm not happy about it! That's why Daddy is more fun then me

A sweet gift from my sweet brother!

I got this box delivered to me today. I knew one was coming to Whitney, but I didn't know that I was getting one to. To tell the truth, i've been kind of jealous. Hoping that Whitney would share her treasure when they got here. The box is so cute, but what it's filled with was amazing!
A dozen cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake in Washington D.C.! Shay sent us the most amazing, thoughtful gift ever!!!! I mean who doesn't LOVE cupcakes?

Jack Does!

And so does Sassy. It just took her awhile to pick her most favorite one.

She found it!
I ate a chocolate one that was filled with gooey chocolate. It tasted like a hot lava cake. Absolutely to die for!!! Thank you Shay!!!!

These are a few of my favorite things............

6 days of rain

And all the kids home all day equals craziness

I would try to ignore it, but it always ends in tears.....sigh

All is Calm

All is Bright

Gingerbread houses

Owen's class made gingerbread houses today. Luckily there were extra so Jack could make one to. When they offered Sassy one, she said no thanks. To much pressure for her. Now all 4 kids are in the boys room quietly feasting on the houses. I should make them stop, but i'm enjoying the quiet to much!

It's the little things

That make life good!

Awesome Santa Pictures

My kids never disappoint!

Found this

and turned it into this. Not my favorite thing, but kind of cute

Christmas Train

Every year the Christmas train pulls into different train stations. This year was our first year to see it. Unfortunately it was also the first year there wasn't a performance. It was really decorated and Santa and Mrs. Clause were there. There was also "snow". It was a fun night, but a little to crowded for my taste.

School Christmas Program

I LOVE the Christmas program at the boys school. They have an amazing music teacher and she always picks the best songs. The only problem is, it's always to dark to take any pictures. I tried to get a few at the dress rehearsal that morning, but my camera is not great for distant shots. Jack was so excited to be in the program this year and he did a great job. The big boys get kind of nervous because there are sooo many people there, but they always do great. My sister and I figured out that we will have kids in at least the next 9 years of this program. Good thing it's good!

Thanksgiving Breakfast

We started a new Thanksgiving tradition this year by having breakfast at my house. It was so fun and the food was good if I must say so myself!
