This Christmas season has proven to be the most exciting and most exhausting one to date :) The kids are both eagerly anticipating and fully participating in all of the standard pre-Christmas activities!
Here are a few pictures from the night we procured the Christmas Tree...

Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of the decorating process because I was up to my elbows in two 1/2 working strands of lights. The tips of my right index finger and thumb are just now regaining feeling from the zillions of light-bulbs that I tested. In the end, I was able to restore one strand to fully functioning. The other strand...well, I just used the 1/2 that worked on the very top part of the tree left needing lights and balled up the 1/2 non-working end and threw them behind the tree. Not my best moment :)
Here are two of my new favorite ornaments - both made by C this year at school.
The first is supposed to be a Celtic Cross
SUCH a goof-ball!
It was a cute program with a great message of how Jesus' birth fulfilled all the Old Testament prophesies of the Messiah. I have pictures of the actual program, but didn't feel right about posting pictures of other people's kids without their permission.
After the performance, we went out to eat to celebrate C's 6th birthday (the following day), and then the kids went back home with my parents so that J and I could attend his work Christmas party out of town Friday night. I was feeling pretty crummy about not seeing C on his birthday, but when he found out that he was going to miss the last day of school AND spend the weekend with Papa and Grandma, he was ecstatic! I think he thought it was part of his birthday present :)
J and I enjoyed our time away. It was kinda fun getting all dressed up :)
And can I just say that I have a rather unhealthy affection for the shoes I bought for this event. Not only these brand-new designer shoes SUPER cool (so much so that I was uncertain if I could pull them off :), but I scored them for $9.00 at a local consignment store. LOVE! :)

This one is a butterfly
Last Thursday, my parents came up and we went to see C's Christmas Program. Here is the big boy before his big performance.
G all dolled up for the big performance in her typical stance (hands on hips)....no idea where she gets THAT from :)
SUCH a goof-ball!
Dad and G waiting to leave
C in his costume all ready to sing (with his class) "Silent Night" and " Away in a Manger." Cutest goat EVER!
