Last Monday we had our first snow day of the year! I'm not a huge fan of them, so hopefully there won't be many others. I just like my summer more! That night we had Bryce's preschool program. We were early enough to score front row seats, right in front of Bryce! I was afraid he would just goof around with us right there but he didn't!

| Cutest sheep ever! |

| Up close and personal! |

| Preschool programs are the most adorable! |

| Singing along! |

| Cutie! |
I have won the "ugly sweater" contest the last 3 years, so I always feel the pressure to make sure each year tops the last. Last year was the year I was wheeled into the ER in my ugly sweater, so I laid in bed and came up with this year's idea. Thanks Pinterest! I find the ideas, Matt makes them come to life! He did a GREAT job this year! I don't know yet if I won or not, it wasn't announced before I left for break!

| Me, the fireplace! |
Having the boys at my school is super nice on party days because I am able to sneak away to their party for a bit!
 |
| We took a million but finally got a good one. He kept looking away... |
 |
| Fun and games! |
 |
| Zane's class was playing Minute to Win it and he would barely let me pose with him...teacher made him! |
 |
| Thankfully another mom sent me this from Bryce's party |
 |
| Bryce and Morgan busy eating! |
 |
| Bryce got wrapped up as a present during a class game! |
On our way to lunch to kick off Christmas break, we saw this where they are buliding Costco. We were intrigued!
Bryce has REALLY been into our elves this year. Matt and I have both heard him talking to them, telling them what he wants, reporting with Mason or his friends at school have been naughty, or just telling them he loves them! So super cute!
 |
| Buzz and Si! |
 |
| Bryce found this sweater I had in the basement and wanted to give it to them. |
 |
| Just hanging out with the elves |
On Christmas Eve we went to church, then decided to have hibachi for supper. I think this might become our annual tradition! Zane caught 4 shrimp! He loved it and thinks this is what he'll pick for his birthday dinner!
 |
| It was hard to get good pictures! |
After that we went home and decorated gingerbread houses.
 |
| Frosting mustache! |
 |
| Mason's masterpiece |
 |
| What focus... |
 |
| Fun times! |
I think Bryce was a little sad the elves were leaving. He just laid there looking at them and then said "I love you Buzz and Si!" When he put the donut and milk out for Santa, he pointed to the elves and said "This is for your Boss!" So cute!
 |
| I love you Buzz and Si! |
Usually on Christmas morning I wait for the boys to wake up. This year, Bryce was up about 3:45! We made him lay down and told him he had to wait until 8:00 to open them. He proceeded to wake up Mason and they both stayed in the living room, as quietly as they could. At exactly 8:00, they came into my room and said "eight zero zero, time to open presents!" Oh my, they were excited!
 |
| Obligatory photo! |
 |
| Seriously mom, let us open presents! |
 |
| My favorite day! |
They were so excited, Christmas didn't last long at all, they tore into everything so quickly!
Every year my mom had a "scavenger hunt" for a gift for all of us. This year we got a couple of gifts that were for everyone and they were large, so I didn't want to wrap them. So I had Matt make a hunt and he did great! He led them everywhere!
It was a great day! I just always hate when it's over!
 |
| Christmas was too much for everyone! Ha! |
Thomas had a great Christmas this year too! My parents were down there so I was getting lots of photo updates of their weekend from everyone! Love it!
 |
| Acting like Kevin from Home Alone! |
 |
| Watching Christmas movies |
 |
| Dad and Son! |
 |
| A bed full of Bunches! |
 |
| AAAHHH! |
Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!
