NOTE: The video of Noah's Christmas program has been uploaded to the Christmas Program post... it's worth a look!
Wow! What a busy couple of weeks we've had--and I didn't even catch THAT much of it on camera!
A while back we had "The Polar Express" at church, where the kids brought a shoebox with toys in it for a needy child. They got to wrap it, plus do some crafts, eat pizza, and watch The Polar Express in their pajamas.
Noah concentrates on a craft
Making pine cone Christmas trees
Audrey visits Santa... again...
Santa reads the kids a story while they eat the cookies they decorated
Noah and friends Bubba and Cody snuggle down for The Polar Express
Also, Chris and I gave Audrey her first rice cereal, which was kind of uneventful, to be honest...
Not so sure about this "food"
Saturday, we got together with my in-laws for our Christmas celebration...
Noah, Audrey and Stephanie
It's all about the details...
Courtney with her niece and nephew
Santa Michael has a way with Audrey...
Chris (in full pads) is excited about "My Pretty Learning Purse"
And, inevitably, the whipped cream antics begin
Monday (Christmas Eve), we had our traditional get-together with family and friends.
Glad to have Aarika back in TEXAS!!!
Audrey and Uncle Jimmy
On Christmas, I had to finally wake Noah up (I couldn't stand the wait any longer!) at 8:00 to tell him Santa had come! He and Audrey received a few things, so I guess they were pretty good.
Putting cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve
Waiting around the corner...
Audrey is fascinated by the train!
We then packed up and headed to my parents' house, where we had Christmas lunch and exchanged gifts while enjoying a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! What a gift!
You can't tell here, but it's SNOWING!!!
Taking in the snow...
Getting settled in for a long winter's nap...
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
