The Christmas Season 2011

December was lots of fun and really crazy! So I am just now to the point that I can write about it without remembering the stress. The first exciting thing was JD's Christmas party. He had a great time. Miss Jamie and Miss Anita are the very best teachers ever! You can just look at them with the kids and tell how much they genuinely love each one.
To start their day they got to watch a Christmas movie with all the kids. Then they came back to the room to have their snacks. It is totally crazy how much food they had on their plates.

After they ate they got to play a few games. This is JD doing "Pin the Nose on Rudolf".

He admitted that he could see right where to put it. He has no shame that one.

All the kids got a nice little book as a gift. JD and Miss Anita. He told Matt one day that he really likes Miss Jamie but Miss Anita is the prettiest.

I got to help with Kyle's Christmas party too but it is not cool anymore to have your mom come to your room and take pictures. His party was fun too. They had lots to eat and Mr. Moore had them make snowmen out of marshmallows. The week before his party He kept telling me that they weren't having a Christmas party. I didn't believe him and kept asking him if he was excited about his Christmas party and he kept telling me he wasn't having one. I finally said well I think Mr. Moore is maybe teasing you. He looked at me really serious and said Mr. Moore never teases. I can totally see that, Mr. Moore is not the joking type. Anyway we finally decided it was called a "Holiday Party" not a Christmas Party.

Our Christmas party with friends was as fun as always. We played a few Minute to Win it games. I think most of the kids are still to little to really win it in a minute.

Christmas morning was AWESOME! The boys did not sleep very well that night like I'd hoped. Kyle got up a 11:30pm to tell me that Santa had come already. Santa had just gone to bed. Then he was up again around 4am. They did sleep till about 6:30 so that was nice. We opened presents at 7 then had breakfast. They got so much stuff.

JD needed a new coat pretty bad.

They got lots of different parts to their new Wii.

This year the boys painted Matt a Ice Cream bowl. It is camouflage of course.

Matt made me a really pretty necklace. We also got new furniture and a new car and got the cement poured for our addition. So I was glad when December was over we had spent plenty.

I love the Christmas season, I love seeing the boys so excited about everything from the Nativity scenes to the presents. Matt was able to take two weeks off so we got to spend a lot of time together.
