Love this tradition

In our Christmas PJs....Merry Christmas!

Stories with Santa

Last Friday, we took the kids to the Evansville Central Library to hear Santa read stories and sing songs.

The kids loved it! Santa even told the kids that one of his reindeer names is always mis-pronounced it's 'Donder' not Doner. In German Donder and Blitzen means thunder and lightening which implies that those two reindeer are the fastest. After tells us this he confirmed it by reading 'the Night Before Christmas' the verison illustrated by Jan Brett.

Then each one of the children had a turn to sit on Santa's lap and tell them what they would like for Christmas.

Our little girl sat on his lap first and she told him she wanted a bell, she loved the bells Santa bought with him.

Then J got on Santa's lap and was a little shy but finally told Santa he wanted a Wonderpets Flying Sail Boat. (J's list seems to change every few moments). After they both sat on Santa's lap they were given a free book. It can't get much better then that!

We Wish you a Merry Christmas

J singing a solo at the Evansville Community Creche Exhibit.

He did such a great job!

(before you play the video, pause the music at the bottom of this page)

This year the exhibit featured ~690 Creche (Nativity) sets.

While walking around the kids kept pointing to each Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus.

Cute, spunky, sweet, outgoing, silly girl

Random facts & pictures of our little girl

Loves princesses-not so much the movies but the doll figures.

Loves pretties in her hair! Loves having her fingers painted purple.

Enjoys being silly/doing silly tricks and telling us that "this is easy"

Funny sayings she says lately: need sticky tape, that's so amazing and oh my goodness!

She tells her momma often "your my best friend"

I love you, girl :)

Circus

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, we attended the

Hadi Shrine Circus.
This is the first time the kids have EVER been to a circus.

The circus experience started off with a clown asking what kind of balloons they wanted:

J picked a giraffe and K picked a dog

Before the circus started we got to pay some $ to ride an Elephant.

We thought this was great fun...a little bumpy....but good.

The tigers and lion doing their tricks! The kids enjoyed this along with anything dealing with the motorcycles and the Elephants. The circus was a little long but a big bag of popcorn helped the kids keep watching.
