Christmas Break

The Friday before Christmas was the start of Colin's winter break from school. C got a "great student" award from Papa Murphy's Pizza at school, so of course we had to go get his free kids pizza. C and M loved putting the toppings on themselves and baking them at home. Sean and I were impressed with the pizza we got, it was yummy!

Target trip for last minute Christmas stuff :)

Some family pics on the Sunday before Christmas. We were dressed up, so why not? ;) And we got some ridiculously cute pics of C and M loving on each other (it was totally worth it)!!!!

Just hanging out at home during Christmas break :)

Christmas party time!

EBY

We had the EBY middle and high school Christmas parties on the same night, but the kids and I only went to middle school party. It was the first one, and that was all we could handle ;) We had a great time celebrating Christmas with our  EBY middle schoolers!

Colin's Class Party
Colin's Kindergarten Christmas Party was awesome! He was so excited about giving his gifts to his teacher and teacher's aid, he loves them both!

They decorated cookie plates for Santa, made marshmallow snowmen, made Christmas cards, and made reindeer food.

Mrs. Faulkenberry gave all the kids a holiday activity big book and a book about snowmen :)

All the yummy food that we had! I made waffles for all the kids in the room, it was yummy!

Colin and his best buddy, Braley :)

Colin loves Mrs. Faulkenberry and Mrs. Norris! They have done a great job with his so far this year, he is learning so much :)

They sang a few songs for the parents. C was all the way in the back, which I didn't like . . . but he actually sang all the songs and danced when he was supposed to which I LOVED!!!

I loved being able to help with C's party and all the other activities at his school so far this year. It has been such a blessing to me and to him ;) I can't believe he is already halfway through his kindergarten year!!!

Santa Claus is coming to town 2014

 We love decorating our tree as a family, the kids think it is super fun. They really soak in looking at all our ornaments and hearing the stories behind each one, especially the ones that represent them ;) And of course it wouldn't be Christmas time without new Christmas pjs, our elf, Henry brought C and M them as a surprise!

Maddox loved helping daddy put some lights up outside, too! She was making sure daddy got it just right ;)

Dee came to visit the beginning of December. Colin got sick with strep and felt so bad the whole time. Our plans got changed, but Dee got to enjoy lots of snuggle time ;)

 Chattanooga Zoo Lights

We love the zoo, and our zoo membership is definitely paying off!!

M would have nothing to do with Santa, but Colin loves him ;)

Breakfast with Santa at East Brainerd was great! The food was super yummy and the kids had a great time. Once again M would have nothing to do with Santa, so our pic is a family one. Colin on the other hand loves Santa and get so excited to talk with him :)
