Christmas Eve

Dick and Diane arrived the night of the 23rd.  The next day they bought tickets to see Cirque Dreamz Holidaze.  Everyone enjoyed the performance and the beautiful architecture of Heinz Hall.

A Visit With Santa

Jerrod and I braved the mall and took the kids to see Santa on the 23rd.  To our surprise, we walked right in and were the only ones in line!  Maybe we're the bad parents who waited until the last minute!  They still got exactly what they wanted!!

                                   

Carson: "A blue train named Hank."

Camryn: "A Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer DS game"

Preparing for Christmas

Over the years I have been receiving pieces to the Willow Tree Nativity.  This year we added even more.  Camryn had fun setting it up and listening to the story of Jesus' birth.

December 17th...Carson's Christmas Sing

Carson had a "Christmas Sing" at school this morning!  It was adorable!  He had been practicing and knew almost all of the words to all of the songs.  Carson had so much fun "hamming it up" for the audience!  He looked so handsome!

The Snow They've Been Waiting For

The kids were so excited when they woke up and saw snow, finally!  These were actually taken last weekend.  It snowed again last night and throughout the day today as well.  Camryn had a late start at school, and she and Carson begged to go outside before.  Cooper loves it too!!!  It's hard to get the 3 of them back inside!  It sounds like this is nothing compared to the snow our friends and family in Iowa have!
