Class Parties

Levi's Class Party 


They released a Happy Birthday balloon to send up to heaven. Each kid was able to write a question to Jesus on the balloon - Levi asked if they have breakfast in heaven!! 





Katelyn's Class Party



We had a Christmas Tree decorating station, reindeer food making station,and the best part (my contribution) was a book exchange. It was chaotic but they kids loved it!


Cookies and Milk with Santa

We had a chance to meet Santa one afternoon after church....Katelyn asked for a Baby Alive and an American Girl bed. Levi forgot to tell Santa anything he wanted so Santa said he would surprise him with something good. And well, Kyler just screamed! He buried his face in me from the moment we walked in the door.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas....

We put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving and the kids were a big help...it sure is nice to have a Daddy that can pick two kids up so they don't have to fight over who puts the star on top....not sure what will happen once Kyler is old enough to care :) 



This Little People Nativty set has been a big hit for many years!



And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care....








Checking out the Christmas books...


All three kiddos in footie jammies....this will probably be the last time this happens. Katelyn and Levi haven't worn them for years, but found a few pairs of Drew's and they were so excited to wear them....BOTH of them took them off in the middle of the night after they got too hot. Oh well, at least I got a few pictures :)



Some of my favorites...




Katelyn made this Santa outfit, she's creative, that's for sure!


The fake talking Santa at Wal-Mart....Kyler was terrified...I'm afraid we may have another crying picture on Santa's lap this year. Poor thing. Katelyn couldn't get enough though.


Boerne Christmas Parade




Gingerbread House building with Grammy




And Elfie Ta-Da has returned. He's written them letters and even brought them coloring pages to hang on Santa's office wall. This day, he was eating their gingerbread houses inside the fridge with his new friend, Woody.  They sure love this little Elf.


And Levi gives our blow up Santa a hug everyday! (He did try the footie jammies one more day, maybe there's hope for more in his future!!)


Nothing like 70 degree December nights coloring and riding bikes.




I love this time of year!

Other December cuties...




Lex got to go to Vegas this past week for work and they had a party inside the Bellagio next to the big fountain show....I was just a little jealous!!


Instead I was cuddling a sick and teething baby. He spiked up to 104 this past week from a virus, but is doing well now. Other than that, still cranky from his new teeth popping through. Hoping to have my sweet boy back to himself soon. Getting new teeth is tough on everyone.


I snapped this pic with my phone and I love it...sweet baby hands are the cutest!


And I have to remember this upside down stage of Katelyn's....she is always practicing headstands....like, ALWAYS! She's getting really good though!


You've got big shoes to fill, little man!
