Christmas Programs

We had a few days of chaos with the boys Christmas programs all piling up on us! It was a lot of fun and they both did a great job! Beau's program was a night program with all 3 of the preschool classes joining together. He was happy to run up there and stand next to his cousin Ellie and sing all his songs! He was very animated and almost hit Ellie with his actions quite a few times...

Brody had his program in the afternoon on Friday and also did a marvelous job! His music teacher had put his program songs online and he was quick to learn how to get online and find his songs EVERY day!! Needless to say we were all walking around singing his songs! :)

We then went on to their Sunday School program on Sunday morning where Beau was an angel (ha, ha! :) and Brody was a wiseman. Beau had a slight meltdown pre-performance, but we got him back on track and he did an awesome job once they got up there!

Gymnastics!

The other day, Bella was doing some crazy moves, looking like she was actually trying to do a somersault... She looked adorable so of course I had to grab the camera. Then my niece and nephew had to get in on the act - they love the camera also! What a bunch of cuties!!

Pre Holiday Fun!!

The kids and I are on our own for a while... Josh has been in Canada for the past week and didn't make it home this weekend like planned. He may be there until Christmas, but we are not sure yet. So, that meant me and 3 kids to get into the holiday spirit! :) We were up and at em this morning, got our grocery shopping out of the way and then the fun began!! We went and saw Santa - Bella was not excited at all!! Then we went and picked out our tree, got it home and decked the halls! It was a fun and wonderful day, even if daddy wasn't here to share it with us... Miss you babe, especially when it came to stringing the lights! :)

Water Park Fun!

Josh's dad and stepmom were in town for a few days last week and we had so much fun visiting with them! While we were at Brody's kindergarten conference, they took the kids out to supper and bowling and then on Friday we all headed to the water park in Brainerd. It was a lot of fun and the kids were definitely tuckered out after a day of splashing around and riding in the slides!

Early Christmas Present!

For the kids Christmas present they got a jungle gym from Josh's dad and stepmom! They were a little impatient and wanted to play on it, so we finally got it set up and they were out on it immediately!!

Ooey Gooey Night!

ECFE had it's annual ooey gooey night and of course my kids had to be involved!! I just love that they do it and I don't have to clean up the mess! :) From making their own pudding, to playing in flour and oobleck they had a wonderful time!

My little hunter!

Hunting season is here and Brody couldn't be more excited! Josh's rule, via my brother in law, is that they can't hunt until they turn 5. So, this year was the year that Brody got to go with... With his talking they didn't see anything, but he sure had fun!
