Ho Ho Ho! It's Almost Christmas!

Santa came to Trooper School this week for their annual holiday party before the Christmas break.  Everyone was very excited to see Santa and eat yummy treats.  Santa called each child up one by one by name and talked with them about their year.  Then he handed them a fun present to open at the end of the party, and sent them to sit back down with the class.  

Xavier had to be called twice when it was his turn to sit on Santa's lap because he couldn't believe he got to go talk to Santa and get a present just for him.  It was all terribly exciting.  He grinned the whole time and happily told Santa he wants a measuring tape for Christmas.

 Xavier's gift from the jolly old elf was a helicopter that turns into a dinosaur.  Very cool.  Xavier hasn't let his precious present out of his site for four days now.  It goes everywhere he goes:  to bed, the store, friends' houses, everywhere.  We did have to draw the line though in the shower.  The thing is electronic and might not appreciate a good clean bath.  :)
After all the presents were opened and the preschools got to see Santa, then it was time for Maeve to pose for pictures too.  She did her best to cry and let it be known she was in no mood to tell Santa anything.  Such fun!  Enjoy the funny pictures!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
