Christmas Party

 The boys had their Christmas parties today!  

Lincoln's class had breakfast for lunch. 

Lincoln filled his plate up!

The kid's gathered around Ms. Richardson as she opened her gifts.  

 Next, the kid's had a book exchange.  They passed their presents around like musical chairs.  

 They were SOOO excited to open their books!

The High School Band came over and played carols in the hallway.

Ethan's teacher, Mr. Conrad, had the class plan their own party.  The table was FULL of sugary treats!  In fact, Ethan said he ate three donuts, one brownie, two cookies, and a bowl of ice cream.  Needless to say, his belly hurt all afternoon!  I snuck in for a quick picture.  He stopped for two seconds and smiled at me and then was DONE!  

They had a blast, but we are all so happy to have a couple weeks together!

Basketball

Basketball started this week.

  This means someone is going to be extra tired on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

 It also means someone is going to get in a lot of awesome reading!!!

Ethan's Christmas Program

Ethan had his Christmas program tonight.

The third and fourth graders sang a few songs, but the fifth graders put on the play Cinderella.

 The program was about an hour and we saw him for about 30 seconds.  

He was a back stage manager.

 He knew I wanted to take a picture of him so he found me and smiled!   So sweet!!!

 I think he had a fun night, BUT he was very happy that it was over!

Lincoln's Christmas Program

 This year the boys have two different Christmas Programs.  Lincoln's program was tonight. 

 Second grade was up first!

Lincoln did a great job, but he was so nervous that he kept crossing his fingers.

 

Julian was very handsome in his red shirt and tie!

I love this picture of Kindergarten to Second grade!

 These sweeties looked so handsome!

We laughed and laughed when we looked over and saw Ian and Link wearing the same shirt!  

That's what happens when everyone shops at the BX!  

Tomorrow night we get to do it all over again for Ethan.  

Weilerbach Christmas Market

 Wednesday night we stopped at the Weilerbach Christmas Market for dinner.  

We had potato pancakes, pork, and hot chocolate.  

 Poor Link couldn't reach the table.  We had to feed him!

We got there super early.  There were only a handful of people there.  

It was nice to enjoy the market without a huge crowd!

Decorating for Christmas 2014

 We used our little pre-lit tree again this year!  

 My guys are growing so fast!  Nate and I only put two ornament on the tree this year!

I love this little tree!  It's 220 volt so we will be giving it away after Christmas!

Discussion in the bathroom:
Me:  Are you guys out of shampoo or body wash?
Link:  Yes, but I just used the Pert.
Me:  What about body wash?
Link:  Yeah.  I just used Pert for my whole body!
