Sunday...BRRR it's cold out!

This morning we had Ryan's preschool church program. He was a mouse. He was not thrilled apparently about that...














Later with Candy cane in his mouth, things were a different story.

Also here is Meghan before her choir concert.




This afternoon we are taking the girls and their friends Lauren and Jaye to go see Miracle on 34th Street at the community theatre. The boys are going with Lhonda and Bob to Noelle's church program. Maybe she will sing better than Ryan.

We were planning on getting them all dressed up to go see Santa tonight and then drive around and see the lights, but with the windchill being as low as it is I think we will stay in and go on Christmas Eve in the morning. BRRRRR!

And Katie has finished the 2nd Harry Potter book and is on book 3! Yeah Katie!

Santa's Village

On Friday I got to go with Ryan to Santa's Village with his preschool. I haven't been since the kids were little so this was a lot of fun.

We loaded the bus at 10 am and took the ride to Santa's Village. Once there we went to Santa's workshop and met with Mrs. Claus. The kids got to listen to a story and dance with Mrs. Claus. They also sang her a song too. Then it was off to see Santa. The kids all talked with Santa and got to yell out what they wanted for Xmas. Ryan yelled out in a loud voice that he wanted a Polar Bear Webkinz.

After we saw Santa we went to see the trains and to donate food to the food pantry. The kids all had a blast throwing their money on the train as well as writing letters to Santa that they got to mail on their way out the door. Then it was off to see the reindeer and they all wondered where Rudolph was. Back to the bus and off to school.

Here are some of the pics from the trip.
