Christmas Season Party Fun

-
This week we had lots of fun holiday activities to get us excited for the approach of Christmas.  Our kind neighbors gave us a fun gingerbread house kit that we put together for Family Home Evening this week.  The kids had fun decorating different sides of the house and Maeve learned the joy of eating straight frosting from the tube (note Maeve in the background doing just that).
Xavier had his annual Christmas party at preschool and was super excited to meet Santa.  He asked for a camera this year.  I bet Santa will oblige his request.  :)
Maeve was even brave enough to sit on Santa's lap all by herself and not cry as long as she got a present and a candy cane in the end.  She was excited to see Santa on our way to the party, but she seemed to have mixed feelings regarding some one on one time with the jolly old elf when the time came.  In the end she braved her fears and was rewarded with some fun ponies to play with and a yummy candy cane to enjoy. 
 
We also had the great chance to go to Loyd's 1st Grade Christmas Choral concert at the elementary school on Thursday night.  Loyd did a fantastic job singing all of the songs and doing all of the choreography.  I just loved watching his big smiling face and his happy energy as he sang with his friends and fellow classmates for their families this holiday season.

Let the Christmas races begin and may we keep Christ at the center of our holiday celebrations!

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!
