Christmas 2018

Christmas felt like a bit of a whirlwind this year. Between work and family life, we’ve been on the go a lot! We went to Gold River on Friday right after school let out for the holidays. Returned home on Sunday afternoon in time to host Christmas Eve at our house on Monday evening! It was a busy few days but so much fun. We were lucky to get in lots of visiting with almost all of our extended family!

Christmas concert

Today was Hunter’s first Arden Christmas concert and Grady’s last one. The school put on a play called “A Pirate’s Christmas” and it was very well done. I didn’t get the best photos because we were quite far back. (Hunter yawned through the kindergarten song!)

Rice Krispie houses

We havnt had much luck with gingerbread houses in the past so this year, we thought we’d try Rice Krispie houses! They didn’t work much better but it was fun and they taste good!

O Christmas tree

We (finally!) went out for our Christmas tree today. We are all so happy to have it up now. 

Making cookies

Making sugar cookies is something we do every year and the boys can almost do it by themselves now! They showed serious concentration. 

Hunter’s artwork

After school, Hunter rolled out the paper and got right down to business. He was a man on a mission! He drew a hockey player, a tiger, and a bear. I love his concentration.
