Snow Angels

I believe .....

the kids are sick of waiting for the snow to arrive,

this winter season.

To satisfy their need,

they found some white packing peanuts and made their own snow.

Then spent some time making some snow angels :)

BTW: Apparently this mommy can't take a shower, when 2 kids are awake!

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas at home!

*Christmas dress and new tie for the kids (so adorable!)

*Every night in December J had to plug in the lights

*After opening a gift, both kids kept saying "this is just what I wanted" (so nice!)

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.
