Preschool Christmas PARTY!

Austin's preschool party was the last day of school before the holiday break~ I think all the kids had a great time!  

Nathan, Austin, & Sydney- listening to Ms Amy talk about the activity stations for the party!

Station #1- Christmas Bingo with M&Ms 

Station #2- Pin the nose on the snowman

Sydney playing bingo with some of the girls

Station #3- Ice cream cone Christmas trees... WOW, that was messy!  All the boys (yes 6 out of 16)- Timothy, Liam, Griffin, Austin, Matt, and Nathan

Girls book exchange- Cali, Kate, Sydney, and Rio

Now the boys' turn!  Austin loves his new book!

Snacks before heading home

Preschool Christmas Program

For Austin's preschool Christmas program this year, Austin's class sang "Go Tell It on a Mountain!"  And when I say Austin's class, that doesn't really include him :)  Once again, he stood there (cute as ever) not really singing or doing the movements.  I tell ya, if I wasn't his mama, I'd think he was shy!  He had a fun time though, and that's what matters!  Afterwards we went back to his classroom with the other families and enjoyed cookies and drinks!

 A pic with Ms Amy (couldn't find Ms Paige to join them!)

The best we could get with poor lighting and a camera phone... my camera battery died!

Austin's Christmas gift for us- I love it!

Gingerbread House

Today Evie spent the day with us while Mat & Shanna celebrated their 10th anniversary!  So we decided to decorate a gingerbread house with the kids!  They LOVED it!  

Christmas Lights

Decorating for the holidays is always a challenge at a new house- but I think it turned out pretty great this year!  

Thanksgiving Feast

Today was Austin's Thanksgiving Feast at preschool!  It's always fun to eat lunch at school with Austin & all of his friends and their families!  

Raking... and so it begins

The time has come.... thankfully we have a helper!

Picnic in PJs

It was a beautiful day outside today, so we decided to have a picnic in our pjs... on the screened in porch!  We had a great time~  Max too (see him?)
