Kindergarten Winter Program

All the cute little kindergartners donned their jammies for their Winter Program. They should just call it a Christmas program since they say things like "Merry Christmas" at the end. But I get it, you cant offend the other religions....

Anyways, Justus stood in the back and he really boogied on the Rockin Around the Christmas Tree song. Super cute!

During practice Justus asked one of the Kinder teachers if he could jump down. The ever serious teacher promptly replied "No you may NOT!"

He had lots of supporters. Our family, Gigi and Auntie Katie, Kaleigh and Ali.

Fun times and Happy Winter ;)

Donuts with Dad

Thursday morning Neil got to take Justus to school and enjoy a healthy breakfast of donut and juice box or coffee. That is funny to me because Neil doesnt like coffee so he sipped on juice :) I did send a cheese stick with Neil so J wasnt totally sugared up.

Apparently it was a hit tho....Good times!

Trim the Tree

While most people were sitting around socializing with their family or going for "one more" piece of pie on Thanksgiving evening, my family was busy Trimming the Tree.

We did out with the old (fall) and in with the new (Christmas) decor. Then it was onto the main event!

Neil was so great to get out our tree and set it up. He also has the job of putting the angel waaaaayyy on top of the tree.

The kids were busy running around while I was rummaging through the ornaments and sorting everything out.

Once I got the red beads on the kids started decorating.

I love it when they do because all their ornaments are in a 12"x12" area of where they can reach.

After they were done, I rearranged to make things more even.
Then we admired our work :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we kept it really simple.

We met Papa and Gigi at Marie Calendars for lunch. After lunch we headed to Old Navy to hopefully catch some deals.

Then home to play. We also put away the fall and got out the Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, the silliness!

At our house, we dont mind being silly!

Here the kids were making mustaches and beards out of their cheerios one morning.

I thought this was more cute than silly, but Justus made a bunch of paper items for Haven. He made her a pilgrim hat, a tunic and this super cute scarf. What was even cuter was that he had very particular ideas about how it should fit on her. Haven thought it was great!


The other afternoon, I walked in to get Haven after quiet time and this was how I found her. The first thought that came to my mind was the picture of the wicked witch who was hit with Dorothy's house on the Wizard of Oz. Seeing her dressed up feet and her face covered with her blanket - it was too cute! Also, I am in no way referring to my daughter as a wicked witch ;)

Havens Thanksgiving Feast

Today we got to celebrate Thanksgiving with Haven at her preschool by having a very yummy feast!

The kids listened to some Thanksgiving stories

Then sang some super cute songs for us

And then it was feasting time :)


They also made some super cute crafts - like this candle.
Justus got to join us and that made it very special - he even took Havens and my picture.
Fun times with Haven!
