Rudolph the Red Nosed....EJ!

Today was EJ's last day of preschool until the new year. The kids worked really hard on learning four songs to sing for their families. EJ loved getting to have a red nose, antlers and sing Rudolph and Jingle Bells with his friends.

Jingle Bells

EJ is sitting on the far left of the class in the back row--sort of hard to see him. The school was packed so I had to sort of film wherever I could get. The singing is super cute though!

Santa!

This years picture with Santa. They both did great sitting on his lap and Molly is just crunching on her finger a bit. I'm happy with it!

Christmas card outtakes

The adventure to get the Christmas card picture

Grrr...why do we have to dress up just for a silly picture

Peek a boo Mama

No, No...I'm going to get you!

This is so boring it's making me fall asleep



Fortunately, we did get a few good shots. This was voted the winner

All is calm

After a busy morning at the Christmas Tree farm (helping Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Mike and Aunt Amber pick trees) the boys are all tuckered out. Molly is in her bed napping too, so this Mama can get some things done!

5th Birthday party...part one

It is really hard to believe, but our wonderful little man is going to be 5 on December 3rd. We had the Sanchez side of the family over the night before Thanksgiving to celebrate a bit early. We all had tasty food, yummy cake and of course presents !

Getting ready to blow out the candle

Opening his Leapster Explorer from Mom and Dad

I am thankful for...

Today at preschool EJ's class discussed what they were thankful for and then made a little wreath to show what they are thankful for. Many of the children put that they were thankful for their families, moms and dads, grandparents, siblings and many put God. What does our son decide to put...

That's right. I am thankful for my superhero action figures!

One year ago today...

One year ago today we were in the hospital with Molly to get her hip repaired. I can hardly believe that it has been a whole year. Watching her today, you would never know that she was in a cast for three months. Now she walks, runs and climbs like a monkey!

Maybe I need to get her into gymnastics?

Playing together

They made a fun new game out of throwing Molly's socks at each other. Something tells me that in the future the things they throw at each other will be significantly harder!

Trick or Treat

Tinkerbell and Spiderman ready to Trick or Treat
