Swimming

Claire and I went to our first mommy and me swimming class last night.  She did great and loved it!

Soccer Star

I signed Charlie up for indoor soccer.  We went to Scheels and got all the gear.  He is ready to "get the ball away from everyone and kick it in the net".  Go, Charlie!

Totally RAD!

80 days of kindergarten are in the books, which means we had a 1980's dress-up day. Charlie's favorite part of the day was eating pop rocks candy.

Christmas 2016

Some pictures so far- we celebrate with the DeFrang side this weekend.

Christmas Lights Cruise

Lights, Christmas music and candy on our traditional cruise.  Giving kids candy and trapping them in carseats for over an hour?  I don't see the problem...

Christmas Eve at home 

We had Caesar salad, crab and baked potatoes and opened some presents

Christmas morning

Charlie again proving that a cardboard box is the best gift!

Blaine Christmas

Double trouble

Scratch those winnings, Nicholas!

New blanket from Rosemary

 Charlie got Pieface and had to try it out right away

Holiday Fun at School

I helped Charlie's class decorate gingerbread houses on Friday.  Love being able to pop over quick and help out!  I wonder how long Charlie will be glad he goes to the same school his mom teaches at...

Today Nick and I attended a Gingerbread Musical by his class.  So cute!

Weekend

We went to Breakfast with Santa, Forager Holiday Fun and Sleigh Rides (more like wagon rides), and did some Christmas baking.  We also ended up with about 8 inches of snow so we're really in the Christmas spirit now!

First Snow

We finally got enough snow to play in.  Charlie was out for 4 hours and came in soaking wet!

Holiday Magic

I took Claire to Janet Lang's Holiday Magic show.  She was especially excited to see her dance teacher, Ryann.  I have to say that it was well done!  I really enjoyed it and so did Claire.
