Christmas Already?

Around here it is! We have had a holiday cookie exchange, a Christmas potluck, and even celebrated Christmas with the Fuzak family before we head off to Texas to celebrate with the Browns.


The boys had a blast at the cookie exchange hosted by Dana-so much fun! Steve from Hullabaloo came and the kids LOVED it! How nice to have a private concert! I did have to wrangle Ian quite a bit, but the overalls worked great for that.

Christmas with the Fuzak family was great. Luke got his coveted Iron Man costume and accessories and Nate got a piano to jam on-heaven for both! Ian just wants to dance to Nate's music. No really, Ian got a fabulous xylophone so that he can play with Nate. :) Other highlights were watches from their cousins-now we just have to learn how to tell time!

We had a Christmas pajama playdate today and made gingerbread (graham cracker) houses with some of our good friends. The boys had a great time decorating, until Mom's shoddy construction fell apart. Oh well-fun to eat afterwards...or during if you are Nathan.

Luke's school had their annual La Posada and his class was Angels. :) We also went out to dinner and visited some fun Christmas lights with Melody:

Ian discovered that he loves riding the fire truck with Nathan and loves playing (torturing) with Violet.
