Christmas Festivities

Christmas cookies with mom...

Gingerbread houses and present exchange with Kaden and Peyton!

Slept for 2 hours after all the fun! Then he stayed up until 10...

His first Christmas party as school. Parents were invited, and I think I was more excited than he was!

Williams Tree Farm on Christmas Eve Day....

Christmas Party

Today, Andrew went to an annual Christmas party that's held at a club that John and Marcia belong to. The kids love when they call their names and they get a gift from Santa and sit on his lap for a picture.

Things have been pretty slow the last couple of weeks as far as activities go. Andrew and I were sick the last few days, and we have just been taking it easy.

Candyland Marathon...this kid loves games!!

I did take a couple of videos of Andrew at basketball practice last week, as he was on fire!

They played this game 3 times, and he made a basket on the first try every single time! I told Mike I might cry, because I was so proud, and Mike said, "You're gonna cry at a basketball game?" HA! I'll be the mom that's waving and crying in the stands when he is 16 years old.

This week, he has his Christmas party for school, which I have been looking forward to. They have a Christmas tree set up in the classroom with a fake fireplace and the works. So cute! I really do think I look forward to these things more than him. :)

Getting ready for Christmas!

I think I was the most excited of all, since I got to leave out his Christmas book advent calendar. I pretended that his elf brought it. Little stinker opened 2 books today, so I'm not sure how well it will work out! Ha!

Saturday, we also enjoyed "Mom and Me" day at preschool, where the kids made gingerbread houses with the moms. So much fun!

Pics from Thanksgiving

Mike's cousin's son, Noah (also 4)

He's Officially 4!

On Andrew's birthday, I was home with him in the afternoon after picking him up from preschool. He got to bring treats for the kids, so he was really excited when we left the house.

When he got home, he got to open the presents from Mike and me. He got Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas CD, a kids camera, and a Scooby Doo game.

I asked him if he wanted to do anything, but he was content to just stay at home and play with all his new toys. When Mike got home, we had sausage pizza for dinner (Andrew's fav) while Alvin and the Chipmunks blasted in the background.

Mike's parents then came over to give Andrew a few gifts.

He had no trouble falling asleep that night!
