Christmas with the Seals

The Seals came and celebrated Christmas at our house this year the weekend before Christmas! It was a fun day of gifts, eating and celebrating with family:) The boys got spoiled as always! It was a great day!

No Crying!!

We finally got a picture with Santa with no one CRYING!!! Yeah, a major milestone has been met! (This isn't a great scan, but you get the idea!)

School Christmas Programs

The boys had their Christmas programs at school. They both did great! We didn't have great seats and the auditorium was PACKED, so the pictures aren't great, but you get the idea....

I'll have to save this picture as blackmail!!

School Christmas Parties

The boys had their Christmas parties at school, with pizza for lunch, cookie decorating and a book exchange between the kids. Luckily the boys rooms are right across the hall from each other and their parties were at the same time, so I got to pop back and forth between them!

The 3 year old party went a little faster than the 4 year old party,

so by the time I got back to Josh's room, it was rest time!

Ice Skating

The boys got invited to an ice skating birthday party, so we headed out for some family fun. Jake, who needed no help and no instruction, headed right out and busted it. So, he was much more hesitant after that and not too big of a fan. Joshy probably liked it more than Jake did. It was cold and Momma did not bring appropriate warm clothes, so they didn't last too long...

p.s. It's very hard to hold a kid up on the ice and get pix, so not many pix - SORRY!

Jake & Daddy taking a break (and yes, almost a year after his

dislocated shoulder, Justin did brave the ice again!)

Breakfast with Santa

We got to have breakfast with the big man...Santa. So much fun and such a great opportunity to take lots of pictures with your OWN camera! We did see several Santa's out and about that day and Jake was getting very confused (as was I), as to who the real Santa was....

Jake's Field Trip

Jake's preschool class went to the local nursing home and performed some Christmas songs for the residents. Here are some pictures from the field trip...
