To Say Merry Christmas To You

The boys' school had their Winter Program tonite, filled with catchy tunes and a lot of wonderful story about celebrating the holiday despite snow storms that disable the power.  Harry's class were the line workers, and Jack's were carolers complete with ukuleles.  Their music teacher always writes the most creative music and scripts for the kids.  Cuteness abounded.

Harry and his great friend Olivia getting ready for the show,
thanx for the hat and the sweet delivery system!

Jack seriously playing his ukulele

Harry fought to keep his hat on, but had a great time

Christmas Decorating

The advents are up, with a few new things this year - this new tree has extra deep boxes, so the boys are enjoying some real treats!

And I just discovered that the wonderful people at Lego's have yearly advent calendars - made it super easy to fill our favorite light house with a surprise each day.

So far, so fun! Hope you and yours are having a merry beginning ~

Homestead's Christmas Decorating

Ho, ho, ho, it's magic, you know

:wub:
It came, just the same

Look at those faces!

Does it look like he can't believe Santa brought coal?!

Daddy's little helper

Sign of things to come? Notice what's above his sign....

ELO

Why Can't Every Day Be Like Christmas?

It was a wonderful day, filled with excited boys, good eats and a fun visit by Uncle Les.

Thank you to everyone who made it brighter!

Here Comes Santa Claus

HO HO HO HO

I walked into the kitchen to find Harry composing this note:

Dear Jack, I want to get a toy for you :wub:

Christmas - whee!

Harry has the silly face DOWN

Christmas miracle, indeed! Two boys napped AND were in bed by 8PM ;-)

Harry composes his note for Santa amid a few of his favorite things

(Mrs. R., we'll work on the grammar LOL)

Jack finally wakes up and gets into the thrill of things

Harry's stirring things up

Jack insisted that we put in 'SO MANY marshmallows he won't even be able to see the hot chocolate!'

Sweet boys

Sweet treats

Tracking Santa with Daddy (he's in NY as I type this!)

It's hard to believe this book has survived those sweet little hands

Harry seems to be praying that we don't drop the camera this year...maybe Jack is wondering if it's his turn??

Happy Christmas to all and to all a Good Nite!

Elvis

Candles in the window

We still have to do a few lights, but I'm loving it so far! Thank you, babe <3 I finally got the window swags and the lites coordinated, tho they look off-center in this picNite version
May your days be merry & bright!

We Need A Little Christmas

Christmas was a friend of mine

Tuesday, the boys went elfin' with some friends they have had since they were about 1 1/2...yikes, we've missed these boys!

Clubhouse party - Harry (on ground), Spencer, Samuel, Jack and Joey
Enjoying their 'old school' playground

Making a fun shrinky-dink project - thank you, Mrs. Carol, for the awesome craft!

Hard to believe he used to avoid art, eh?

All those big packages...shrunk

Harry modeling the final product

Get ready...

Get set...smile!

Let the ripping begin!

And the final present goes to...Joey :-)

Lots of happy receivers

Ta da! Jack thanx Grayson for his first-ever Star Wars figurine!

Oh, yeah, Harry dug the Glow Color explosion - thank you, Patrick! He's thankful, but worried about you and hopes you feel better after surgery! They enjoyed checking each others' toys out, too

Harry's gift box was a big hit....reindeer games, anyone?

The most famous reindeer of all....Darius :-)

Seriously enjoying their gifts at home that nite

Harry signing his first glow art creation....

....and showing it to Daddy

Thank you, friends, it really was a great time!
