Doing the all the Christmas things

Because I've been working full time, getting ready for Christmas and finishing my first BSN class, I am clearly not updating the blog often. Instead, you get the past 2 weeks at once. Enjoy.

Gummy Bear, riding an invisible pony, I assume. This is one of those pictures that you take, forget what was going on, and then realize it doesn't matter because the story you made up is probably better.

You know how you get your kids to vacuum? Buy a cool new vacuum.

We had grand plans to go stalk and shoot our own Christmas tree this year. Instead, we went to a local nursery and pointed.


The decorating is the fun part though, and the kids had a blast. Bear is our light tryer-outer, both inside and out.


Cheeky Monkey mostly played in the boxes and tried to destroy stuff.


After I rolled out the pizza dough for dinner that night, Bear completely made the rest of the pizza. And it was delicious.


Cheeky Monkey had his holiday program at the preschool. Watching a bunch of 3-year-olds sing holiday songs is just about the cutest thing ever. Also, it explains Monkey's obsession with Hanukkah this year.

We did the Sesame Place Christmas again this year, and again we were not disappointed. They do a really nice job with the decorations and Christmas-themed activities. The prizes for the fishing game were stuffed animals with Santa hats.



And the kids kept them warm in their jackets. Because, you wouldn't want your frog to freeze.


We almost got a good family picture.


And then we amused ourselves while we waited in the 15 minute line to see Santa. It was the only line we waited in all day.




Bear was all about Santa this year. Fin was not so sure, but did eventually climb up on the big man's lap. Requests for this year? Arthur Christmas (a delightful Christmas movie) for the Bear and a clock for Monkey. Done and done little ones.

Bear looks like he's doing the Gangnam Style dance in that first photo.

He totally does, Becky! Jo, we wish you were here too. Hope you're finally enjoying some much-needed home time.
