Almost Christmas

-
 It must almost be Christmas because we managed to grabbed Santa's ear at the annual City of League City Holiday Open House held at Helen Hall Library.  Owen asked for a Christmas hat and Maeve requested a new notebook to draw and do math in.  We brought our little friend AB while her parents were busy at the hospital welcoming her new little brother into the world.  This was AB's first picture with Santa ever.  I guess coming with her best friend, Owen, gave her the courage to overcome her lifelong (short as it still is) fear of the jolly old elf.  ;)

 The second sign of Christmas on it's way has arrived too.  Lots and lots and lots of fall leaves are falling all around.  We've got some pretty great leaf parties going on in the backyard with perfect temperatures and an abundance of beautiful, dry leaves to crunch and toss, and bury oneself in. 



We can't wait for more Christmastime fun to come!

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!
