Christmas Program

The kids had their Christmas Program at church the Sunday before Christmas and I know have three of them in the main program!! Braxton is still in the mini nativity and he rocked it as a shepherd this year. The rest were a part of the choir for the older kids' program, with Bella have a mini solo in one of the songs.

Preschool Program

Next year I get to have all my kiddos in the same program for one year and I am going to appreciate it greatly! But for this year, this handsome boy got to shine on his own... Braxton loves to sing everything and anything. He is loving preschool this year and love, love, loves his good buddy Rhett.

Elementary Christmas Program

We are almost to our last year with Brody in the elementary program, which makes me a little teary, so I try not to think about it that often! The kids did great at their program this year and Beau was so excited that he got to have a bell part. It's always fun to listen to their songs after they have spent so much time working on them.

Santa Time

We had to go and check out Santa each time he was in town! Santa day at the school was a lot of fun, but we also have to stop over at WCTA to see Santa there every year. This year they also had a petting zoo outside, so the kids thought that was pretty cool!

Little Drummer Boy

Brody began his first year of band this year and chose the drums as his instrument. Pair of drumsticks is all I need to buy? Great idea! :) He had his first concert this Christmas season and it was fun to see him out there with his class. Amazing the difference that a few years can make in the sounds of the bands! He had a great time and looked awesome as a drummer with his buddies in the back.

A boy and his dog

Tin Tin and Braxton have a bit of a love/hate relationship... They tend to gravitate towards each other, love on each other, even share a bed - but then there are the times that Braxton doesn't get that she just wants to be left alone, not mauled, hugged, squeezed, laid on, etc. But the love shows through more than anything, especially in pictures like these!

Christmas Tree!

As our tradition continues, we went and picked out our own tree again this year. The kids love it and have so much fun running around while we find the perfect tree for our house. Then we head home and go through the ornaments that seem to be multiplying faster than rabbits and set up our tree. We might have to either add a tree or start setting aside some ornaments for a while... Maybe some of the ones that I have from when I was little might have to be packed up for a bit! :)
