| Jack's Thanksgiving feast at school was very fancy. |
| Ellie lost her 1st tooth Thanksgiving day! |
Getting in the Christmas spirit
| I had some big helpers this season! |
| They loved finding all their ornaments. |
| The bottom of the tree was nice and heavy with ornaments. |
Gingerbread houses
| I love seeing how they improve through the years |
| That leftover Halloween candy came in handy with our houses. |
The School Christmas Program
| Gingerbread boy bakers! |
| I love having little helpers to bake with. |
| Graham cracker trains too! |
| Once we used up all the train supplies the kids found making monsters was equally fun! |
Family Trip to Vegas
| Our first family putt putt outing. |
| What a fun course for the kids even though we aren't exactly KISS fans. |
| They have some promising putt putt skills. |
The Holiday Express
| We've boarded the train! |
| We weren't expecting the chilly Vegas day, but it was fitting! |
| Excited to go see Santa! |
| First our reindeer food craft. |
| Then we heard a story and sang some songs before visiting the big guy! |
| It was such a cool experience visiting Santa's cottage. |
| Jack got a little shy before telling Santa he wanted a green scooter. |
| Ellie informed Santa she wanted the Banana Shopkin. |
| They even got sprinkled with snow! |
Christmas time
| We have a tradition of letting the kids open one present Christmas Eve. |
| Jack was VERY happy with his choice! |
| All ready for Christmas Eve Mass. |
| Christmas morning wishes came true! |
| Santa came through! |
| Ellie and Jack wanted to get each other gifts this year. |
| Ellie loved her gift from Jack! |
| She actually sleeps with these masks on, it cracks me up! |
| The Tall Mall! |
