Pre-Christmas Fun

Here's a few pics of some things we've been up to lately. We can't wait for Christmas...

Here's our Christmas card/photo journal that we sent out this year.

Here's the kids with Santa at a church Christmas breakfast. Lily wouldn't go near the guy. I decided to be nice and not force her.

CJ asked for Legos and a big Star Wars walker.

Haley asked for an MP3 player. She's getting so big.



Haley's School Christmas Concert

Sweet Lily

Haley had a lot of fans: our family, Papa Val, Uncle Billy and his girlfriend Brittney, and cousins Mandy, James and baby Maggie.

She had a special part in a trio. She did awesome. So much confidence and poise. She sure does love to perform.

My bootleg version of Haley singing.

Getting our Christmas Tree

We found a good one up in the woods.

Both kids helped to chop it down. CJ especially loves to wield the saw.

CJ sledding. Don't worry, no harm done to him or the car. :-)

It was a snowy, fun time.

Lily stayed at home with babysitter Papa Val. They colored, had nutella sandwiches, built block towers and Papa even changed a super poopy diaper. Hooray for Papa!
