Holiday Festivities

We've been busy! We've been going to birthday parties, and decorating trees, looking at lights, making cookies, decorating cookies, and simply waiting for Santa is also a lot of work.  Auntie Kate is in town, and she came over to help us make cookies and decorate our gingerbread men.

 Charlie had a holiday party at school where they did some singing, decorated a gingerbread man, and had a cookie exchange (which meant a ton of cookies for lunch - yey).

Here are some of his school buddies.

All the kids got to pick a book out of the grab bag as their gifts.

And here are a couple of the songs they sang :)
I wish I could find a way for the videos to be less blurry when I upload!

Our Annual Visit to See Santa

We made the trip to see Santa right before Thanksgiving. This year Charlie was very comfortable with Santa and spent a very long time discussing all the things on his list. It was a good thing we went early and there weren't any other kids in line, because he made sure he let him know all of it. Lukas wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. Santa was adorable! Since then Charlie has seen a couple of other Santas around and is very aware that each one looks different. He hasn't questioned why they look different, and I'm hoping he doesn't.

Anyway, here are a few cute pictures of the boys. Christmas cards should be arriving soon!
