MY NEPHEW, CHRIS ADORED THE THOMAS THE TRAIN TENT E AND I GOT HIM AND HE WANTED TO OPEN EVERYTHING HE GOT RIGHT AWAY! MY MOM LOVED HER PERFUME, 'AS USUAL' AND AFTER EVERYONE LEFT, THE KIDDIES WENT TO BED AND E AND I MET WITH SANTAS TO PREPARE STOCKINGS AND SANTA GIFTS.

Holiday Cheer.....

The kids had their Holiday singing for parents this week and it was really cute. J's much more "the big kid" type and he seemed little embarrased of me with both the video and digital camera clicking away. So I tried to keep it as minimal as I possibly could for his peace of mind.....

(I did get it all on video though, and he does not not know it yet!!!!!!!)

Although, when K's day came, oooohhhh boy, she was ready....... I got her her a new Santa dress and she was ready to go boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

She wanted me to take pictures of all of her friends and made sure that I video taped the whole singing part so E could see it later. (cause he could not make it to this one) Here she is in her dress (one with bro J)and below with friends from class during their Holiday Party......
