Emma Tucker's Christmas Party

Emma Tucker was such a big girl last week as the boys kept having Christmas parties at school and coming home with gifts. Her party wasn't until Friday but she did a good job getting excited for the boys. She did have PJ day on Wed. though. Friday was her party and they had McDonald's Happy Meals for lunch and then decorated cookies. Afterwards, they had a book swap.

Emma Tucker's Christmas Program at School

Thursday night was our school's Christmas program for 3 yr olds through 1st grade. Emma Tucker was on the back row so she didn't show out as much. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Will and Walker's Christmas Parties at School

Last week was full of parties for the boys. Since they are two classes, they had 2 Christmas parties. On Thursday, the had PJ day also and watched the Polar Express.

Randon acts of Sillyness

Here a few random pictures from the weekend. Saturday night the children made sugar cookies and as you can see they are ALL sprinkles. Also, yesterday I was upstairs vaccuming and Brandon walks into the living room to find the children covering Will with presents. He was hiding under the tree covered with presents. If you are getting a present from us, I am not sure how well it is going to handle being in our house. Before church yesterday morning, Walker stacked up a bunch of gifts and was jumping up and down on them. They have been trying to unwrap them too. (and we just put some under the tree Saturday night)

Our Newest Friend

Meet our newest friend... Eli.... that is what Emma Tucker named him. Our children love getting up every morning to find out where Eli is hiding. When Eli flies back to the North Pole at night all the children hurry to bed so Eli won't catch them still up. Eli hasn't gotten into much mischief yet. He did eat daddy's snack the other night, but that is all.

Gingerbread House

This year I got smart and bought the foam gingerbread houses at Michaels (thanks Julie for this idea on your blog last year). Last year, we tried making a gingerbread house and it was the biggest mess I have even seen. We might try again when the children get bigger, but this year we decided to make the foam sticker houses instead. The children had fun putting the stickers on the house. Here are the pictures of us putting together our house.

Christmas Performance at Church

I am so PROUD of my children right now! They all sang in church for the first time and survived! Last week at the rehearsal Walker cried and didn't want to be on stage. Tonight, Both boys stood on stage and didn't cry! That was an accomplishment in itself. Of course, Emma Tucker who has NO fear sang and performed her heart out. If I have to say so myself, they looked adorable in their Christmas clothes too. Afterwards, Santa Claus came and they ALL 3 sat in his lap for a picture! Yeah! Here are a few pictures from tonight's performance.
