An evening out

We generally have the opportunity to go to several very nice Christmas events every year. We also usually only choose one so we can spend lots of time with the kids during the holiday season. So here we are, ready to go to our country club's Christmas party. Our babysitter is taking this picture. I love it because you can see how pathetic my children are being about not getting to go. Nixon has put on the "pouty face" and Noah really thinks I'll pick him up and caring him around with me for the rest of the evening. So funny! They act like we leave them out of the fun all the time...by the way, we are taking them to Disney World for a week just after Christmas this year.

Gingerbread Housed decorating

So Michael is so good at all these activities with the boys, and they adore it! Noah joined in this year, making his own Christmas train while Nixon made his house. Noah has a sweet tooth so he spent a lot of time licking the "glue" off the house but Nixon did most of his piping and decorating on his own this year. They turned out great! Nixon decided he and his friends should eat them for dessert at our Christmas party the next night. And they did..the train at least...their tummies couldn't hold both. If Nixon doesn't grow up to be a chef one day with all the cooking he does with Daddy then he is going to make some woman a fantasticly helpful husband:)

Preschool Christmas program

There just isn't anything more precious than 4 year olds doing a Christmas performance-songs, bells and puppets included. I loved every minute. Nixon loved every minute of eating cake and ice cream afterwards:) A proud mommy moment to see him up there...isn't he getting so big?
