Here comes Santa....on a helicopter??!!

Every year we meet my whole family at the Country Club for a wonderful luncheon with Santa and Mrs. Claus! We ate a delicious lunch and then waited for Santa and Mrs. Claus to land their helicopter (yes- helicopter) so they can come in an meet with each child. We were so surprised but Bradley did it! With a smile! They had so much fun with their cousins and of course Nanny and Papa! They were lucky enough to go to my brother's house afterwards and play with their cousins for a few more hours...what a fun day! Now we truly are ready for Christmas!

Bradley's School Winter Program

Oh...it is always a treat to watch Bradley in action at school...or at church...wherever. He really likes to put on a "I am shy" show. We managed to get a smile out of him before the program started and when his papa was holding him at the end. Of course they had to put him right in the middle of the whole class. He did no actions and sang no songs and in the meantime he managed to tell his teacher I didn't even bother to show up(which he knew I had because he waved to me when I walked in to the room before the program started)...yes he is something else. But we adore him and his personality!

Tagged....

Ok...my friend Andrea tagged everyone to see their tree. So here is ours... let's just remember that I had a 4 year old decorating my tree and putting up everything where he wanted...and I wasn't about to
change it -he notices!
So here is the tree...

Tooth Fairy Time!!!

Today..Cole lost his first tooth! He is so excited (seriously..this child does not like taking pictures...so to get one of him with a natural smile is next to impossible)! He lost it before church today and I am pretty sure he told everyone he saw. We have a little pillow with a pocket in it- he put his tooth in there so the tooth fairy will come tonight! This is a first for us as parents too...how exciting! Oh and if you read his school program posting..this is why he was pointing to his tooth the whole program..it was loose and I guess when they lose a tooth they get to write it on a wall at school.

Our FUN Snowy Day....

Today was the first really BIG snow storm we have had this year (which is so strange)! We decided to have a great time with it. Today the boys played outside, made snow angels, helped Dennis shovel the walks, and made a snowman (I would have taken a picture if it actually looked like something...but it was really just a half eaten carrot..I guess Bradley got hungry..in the snow)! They then got in a hot bath, ate dinner, and made a gingerbread train! We had a great day!

Cole's Winter Sing for School

Cole had his Kindergarten Winter Sing today! Nanny and Papa came to watch. He was so excited. He did EVERY action and EVERY facial movement (he is a little dramatic) It was so fun to watch. He kept pointing to his tooth the whole time...we had no idea what he was trying to say (stay tuned). He did such a good job and we are very proud of him!

Madison and Sadie Turn ONE

My twin nieces (Madison on the left and Sadie on the right) turned one on December 7, 2008. They had a big birthday party. My boys LOVED every minute of it and they adore their twin cousins. The funniest part of the night came when they each got their own little cake- after the candle was blown out they went right after that cake. I have NEVER seen a 1 year old (let alone two) eat a cake like this. I think they ate the whole thing in under 4 minutes! :) I just had to post this picture. We were all laughing so hard! Happy Birthday Girls!
