Madison's Christmas party




The party started with a fun way to play hangman. If you guessed the wrong letter Madison had to put on a clothing item. She had a friend helping her put on the clothes and they couldn't stop laughing the entire time. They made snowflake gumdrop ornaments and ended the party with a puzzle gift exchange. They sat in a circle and passed the gifts as fast as they could until the teacher said stop. Can you imagine the screams and laughter? So fun!

Matthew's Christmas program


Don't forget to turn off music so you can hear Matthew sing.

Christmas Day




First you have to taste it.

Then aim

and throw

I was off limits since I was capturing the moment

We were so happy that the snow lasted throughout Christmas day

The kids kept dad busy building the snow ramps to jump

Sometimes they flipped over

and didn't seem to mind

Let the snowball fight begin

here comes the paybacks



and we didn't forget the snow angels

Why won't this snow stick?

Our attempted snow man. All we could find was one branch, a celery stalk, daddy's beanie and Jalapeno nose.

Before we tore it up!
