Kindergarten Christmas Performance

Michael's school had a Kindergarten Christmas Performance on the Friday morning before school let out for break. He was really excited for it and sang really well. He smiled at us almost the whole time. He loves Kindergarten and is in a dual language class leaning Spanish. He comes home singing Spanish songs and his accent has improved greatly in a few short months. He has two teachers and loves them both, so do I. They are awesome at what they do and I'm so grateful for amazing teachers that make school fun!

Christmas 2013

Christmas Eve was spend with our neighbors and church friends with friends their family visiting.  We spend Christmas day there as well. It was so nice of them to include us in their Christmas.  There was lots of yummy food and the kids had a great time playing with their friends.

 

This Christmas season we had an Elf visit us this year.  Michael named her Bambi.  They loved finding her in funny spots each morning, sometimes with treats or reminders to be good.  Here they are leaving Santa cookies and saying goodbye to Bambi until next year.

 

On Christmas Eve Bambi brought Reindeer food for the boys to sprinkle on the lawn.

 

 

Christmas morning was pretty simple.  The boys loved all their gifts and even bought for each other and Michael bought for Joe and I.  That morning I tried a new recipe for cinnamon rolls that were egg free and they turned out horrible.  Next year I will definitely test it out first.  I was a little bummed they didn't turn out but we still had a great time that afternoon and evening at our friend's house. 

 

We managed to not take a family photo that morning.  Oops, guess there's next year.

Our church Christmas Party:

 I sang this song with two other women, we sounded great but the gym was a hard place for anyone to hear us, even with a microphone. Lots of musical talent was shared in our ward that night...

 

including the primary children.

 

 Landon clapping for Michael

 

 Santa made a little visit and Michael randomly asked for a robot for Christmas

 

 

 The Chocolate cheesecake I took for dessert for the Ward Christmas Party.

Grubby little(est) hands stole some raspberries off it while it was cooling in the fridge. Michael helped me place them on and was quite dissapointed that Landon had eaten some of them. 

 

 

 

 A friend's birthday:

We helped celebrate a friend's birthday at an indoor inflatable place...
