Cam’s class sang songs at my company’s holiday party. We practiced all of his songs for weeks ahead of time in preparation. All of them were common children’s melodies with new lyrics. (Think Father Christmas instead of Frère Jacques.)
His class is full of cuties. They all did so well, and it is so much fun watching them perform.
Snow is a random event in St. Louis, and you have to enjoy it when it comes. I say that knowing I don’t really enjoy it (I often call Chris exclaiming that white sh!t is falling from the sky), but it changes when you can enjoy it through your child’s eyes.
We built our first snowman in Washington, IN while visiting my grandparents. Quite the accomplishment, since he did this amidst a massive snowball fight. Soon afterwards, St. Louis got their own snowfall and it was time for snowman #2.
This required a lot of snow, and Cam was happy to shovel some in Chris’s direction. I wonder how long shoveling will remain fun?
Snowman #2 was pretty cute, as were the boys who constructed him.
I guess snow can be magical. Anything is that makes little boys so proud and happy.
The holidays is a multi-day fun extravaganza for our family. We first celebrated with Nina, who made both boys (and a puppy) very happy.
We had my family over on Christmas eve, where we practiced posing. Kirsten has some work to do, but Liz and Brendan have it down.
Then it was time for Santa to come. I believe he was a bit too generous.
Cam had the same request for Santa when he was asked what he wanted for Christmas – a Buzz Lightyear and more cars. Santa was happy to oblige, along with some other goodies.
He was so excited to see what Santa brought, he missed the last step.
Every boy needs a pirate ship.
And a ferocious dragon!
But Santa still remembered Buzz!
We spent Christmas afternoon at my parent’s home, where Santa dropped off a ton of other gifts. My sisters also had bonding time with my boys.
They love their aunts!
Hope everyone had as much fun as we did this holiday!
