Avery's Christmas program at school

I focused mainly on recording the program with the video camera, so I mainly have photos of the party after the program.

Avery and her teachers, Ms. Julie and Ms. Heather.

Finger ankle

Avery was telling us at dinner that she had hurt her 'finger ankle' while playing. We asked what she meant, so she pointed.

Finger ankle. Makes sense now.

Upward

I think she's excited.

God help me.

And of course a wrestling match begins.

Benjamin's School Picture

You gotta love the shiner. That was from when the liftgate on the car came down on his face.

I was feeling guilty about not getting the kids a tree last year, so I went to Wal-Mart and found a tree for not too much money. It's not the nicest tree, but I was feeling the holiday spirit and wanted to decorate the house this year. I don't have that many ornaments, but it worked out this year since the tree is small.


Benjamin was proud of this one. It's the one I bought for his first Christmas. I still need to get Avery's! (shame, shame, I know.)



Casey wasn't that into it, he just snuggles his blankie and ignores the chaos. He's wearing the sweater that Elijah's sister Julie gave him over Thanksgiving. I put it on him at her house to show her how much he loves wearing clothes because she didn't believe me. He jumped and flipped and got so excited when I showed it to him, and was equally as upset when I took it off. He pouted so much that she told me to keep the sweater for that 'poor baby'. We aren't too happy that it's a Georgia Bulldog sweater, but it probably cost her $20 or more, so he can wear it all he wants since I won't pay that for a dog sweater!

How cute are they??
