Merry Christmas!!

So it has been a while since I got around to this....but with christmas shopping, decorating (even if we have gone minimal this year), end of year school parties, concerts, blah, blah, blah,......well life has just been a little crazy! But here we are - just three more days til Christmas and the kids are finally off school and I can relax and not have to wake up in the dark.......NOW it feels like Christmas:-) So here's some pics -
Putting up the Christmas tree (which gets redecorated by the girls EVERY day!)

Abbie's Christmas party at school
Jordan's Winter concert where he got to do a solo of Silent Night (he was the only 4th Grader doing a solo - and I think mainly as he begged and begged and begged his teacher for weeks to let him do it!) He did great:-)
Amelia's school Christmas program (she knew all the words to all the songs - and I promise she has a lovely voice, though her friend is obviously not enjoying something!)
They also had this kind of creepy puppet show with Grandma and Grandpa characters who were telling the kids the Christmas story - kinda cute but kinda creepy!
Anyway, it has been a crazy couple of weeks but now I am looking forward to a Christmas at home - actually will be our first time spending the whole Christmas by ourselves (OK so we have Ben, but he is one of the kids - no he's an adult - no he's one of the kids........one of these days we'll make up our minds on that!)
