Picture Update - Things have been soooo busy, this is the best I can do to save time:
We went to the annual Cookies with Santa at the church across the street from our neighborhood. Our friends the Pagano's are members and invite us every year. Here are some pics of the kids and their friends.
Avery refused to sit by Santa:
Playing in the game room:
Candy cane making with pipe cleaners:
Girls playing by the tree:
Group pictures:
Trying for a christmas card picture (didn't happen):
Hot cocoa and cookie decorating:
Frosting eating:
Finger dipping:
This is how Daddy puts on underpants. He didn't see any issues besides the stains from dinner........do you?
Another annual tradition for us is the tour through Bethlehem at another church down the road from our house. Every year this gets better and better and the kids were finally able to give the baby Jesus their gifts that they acquired along the tour without having meltdowns about giving them away.
Getting in line to go in:
Too tired from standing in line:
Manger animals:
Cookies and hot cocoa in the main hall:
We have quite a lot left to get through before the end of this year and Christmas shopping has been going very slowly. For all those that asked, Avery is a size 3T and likes Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake and anything princess, especially dress-up clothes. Miles is into a boys 5/6 (more 6 than 5) and loves games for his Nintendo 3DS and Transformer, Scooby-doo, super-hero books (1st grade level and higher). They both also really like movies.
I have more posts to share, but this buys me at least a few days reprieve.
