Julian's Preschool Play

Our little lamb was part of his school play and was supposed to sing "Away in a Manger," but he was a little shy and kept his fingers in his mouth. He had been practicing for weeks and really likes the song. It was super cute. 

Visit with Santa

My first parenting fail in our visit with Santa this year is that Julian was BEYOND hungry. He didn't want to slide a "church shirt" on over his batman shirt, nor did he remotely want to be anywhere near SANTA!

Granted, this Santa was not nice at all either...going back to my favorite next year. 

 Andrew asked for a lava lamp, a new aerobie, and surprises. Ryan asked for a switch and go dino, a mini-ipad (hah!) Julian asked for paw patrol stuff and spiderman stuff.

Christmas Tree Decorating

The kids were very excited to decorate this year and we just let them do it!  A little help for the higher ornaments, but they pretty much did the entire tree.

 And, much to Chris's dismay, I got MATCHING family pajamas! The kids thought it was "awe-ome" as Julian says without an S.

                                                    Merry Christmas!

Piano Recital

Andrew and Ryan had their first piano recital, but Ryan decided he didn't want to participate just yet. Andrew was the only newbie in the group, and he did a great job. He was very critical of himself and said he didn't like the sound of the baby grand, but hopefully he will forget about all that before the next one!

Trains and Trees

The trains at Kennilworth are always amazing, and its such a fun thing for the boys to see. We met a few other preschooler friends for a morning of train gazing.

 We had an unusually warm day to get our tree this year with Grammy, Papa and Pat. The coats came off very fast, and Julian was ready to help with his saw.

Now home to decorate!
