Christmas!!!!

We had a great Christmas with the boys this year. They are at such a great age for Christmas. The hotel here on base that held some of the Christmas activities had great decoration so we took some pictures there. Aiden made reindeer food at school and was thrilled to set that out along with Santa's cookies and milk. Austin went right to bed but Aiden was so excited for Santa to visit that he went back to bed at 8pm but did not fall asleep until almost 11pm!!!!! Needless to say Santa was waiting patiently for him to fall asleep :) On Christmas day the boys woke up and were ready to go. Aiden read all the name tags and handed all the gifts out. They both were so happy with the presents and have spent the last several days since Christmas playing so nicely together with them. I will be sad to see school start back up next week and I have enjoyed my time with BOTH boys being home all day!!!! We are looking forward to the New Year and new adventures!!!!

Austin's Christmas Party

Austin had a litlte Christmas party at school on his last day before the break. He was not very impressed with it but sat there quietly and wore his hat the whole time. He did sign jingle bells but none of the other songs. Not many of the 3 yr old enjoyed it....most cried or would not sit up there. It is a hard age to organize for something like this but his teachers did a great job. Austin would not look or smile at me as you can tell from the pictures. He was doing it on purpose but as soon as they pulled out the food he was much more happy. Either way he is a cutie and I had to post the pictures!!!!

Christmas Caroling at DHL

Aiden class got to go to the hotel on base and sign several Christmas songs. Aiden did such a GREAT job as did his whole class. He is really loving Kindergarten and has made such great little friends. After the caroling one of the restaraunts served the kids pizza and juice :)

Santa Visits

Aiden's school took a trip to the Hotel here on base and got to stand outside and wait for Santa to visit them. It is SO cold that day and Santa must have had some trouble getting here from the North Pole............but he finally arrived and the kids loved it. Austin stood in the line like he was part of the kindergarten class. They even got mini candy canes at the end :)
